The product we used:
Got eggnog?
It’s that time of year again. My wife–Japanese, by the way–just put up a cheap plastic Christmas tree. As I write this, I’m watching them remove and rehang the ornaments on the tree. Our oldest has been reviewing toy catalogs, circling all the many, many things she wants.
Of course, she’s not alone. You know it, I know it. It’s time to start preparing for your wallet’s most traumatic time of the year.
While we at Globalkitchen Japan feel great empathy for your wallet, if it’s going to get the shake-down from the kids and grandkids anyway, we kinda feel like, you know, why not let it be with high-quality import Japanese gifts from us? We’ve got kids shaking us down too, you know!
Warm that eggnog up
That’s where these neat ceramic heat sensitive cups from our friends Marumo Takagi come in. These cool little Minoware cups hide a secret: at room temperature, the designs on these cups are a simple black silhouette.
Warm them up to 45 celcius (about 113 fahrenheit), and they reveal beautiful, traditional Japanese motifs, from simple Japanese maple leaves and carp, all the way to famous images of Mount Fuji.
And so it begins
