Japanese T-Shirt - "Soy Sauce is the Japanese Soul." Our newest wacky kanji T-shirt is a tribute to that most Japanese of flavorings, soy sauce, used more in Japanese kitchens than even salt. The shirt reads Shoyu (soy sauce) wa Japanese Soul. Ibuki 1/8 Scale Figure Excellent Model CAPCOMANIAX ~ Street Fighter.

Shakugan no Shana, or Shana of the Blazing Eyes, is a hit anime show by the character designer of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is a big part of its popularity. Just look at how cute Shana is! This figure is highly recommended since it's so detailed, and also because of its large 1/6 scale size. Now in stock. Moon and Earth ~ Earth Rising (Blu-ray Disc). When Japan sent their probe Kaguya (named after the character Kaguya-hime from the famous Japanese fairy tale of a girl who comes out of a bamboo shoot who turns out to be the princess of the moon, which was the basis for E.T.) and sent back its HD images of the moon, I said to myself how excellent it would be to have a Blu-Ray version of this video. Well, NHK must have heard me because here it is. Fully compatible with North American and Japanese Blu-Ray machines, including Playstation 3. Full 1080p! JINBEI / Relax & Cool Homewear ~ Old Map of EDO Town / Dark Gray. About the coolest thing you can see on J-List today are the jinbei (also written jimbei), summer short kimonos you can wear either to your favorite festival (or anime convention), or sleep in as really excellent pajamas. We've gotten some great items in stock, including LL sizes for our larger customers. Hello Kitty Chrimen Kinchaku Pouch. I love the feel of chirimen, or kimono fabric, especially when it's got Hello Kitty on it. These are kinchaku draw-string bags that go well either with a kimono or yukata or with your normal everyday lifestyle. Keep all your stuff inside. English Walking Guide to Old Edo-Historical Sights in Modern Tokyo. If you want to have an experience like no other in old Edo (the old name of Tokyo), we recommend this book, which helps you walk all around the sprawling city and read about historical things that happened in each corner, from famous events of the Edo Period to famous battles of the Meiji Restoration. Lotte Toppo -- Praline. Long-time customers of J-List know that our extensive selection of chocolate products, like Pocky or Kit Kat, are discontinued during the summer to keep them from becoming so much Meltykiss. But Lotte Toppo is sold all year long because of the way it's made, a baked pretzel with chocolate goodness on the inside. Enjoy the newest limited flavor, Praline, an amazing taste from Japan! Lunch-de-DON Bowl (DONBURI) Type Bento Box. In Japanese, a donburi is just a big bowl for rice, and there are many delicious foods you can eat, like Oyako-don, literally "parent-and-child rice bowl" consisting of chicken, scrambled eggs and rice. This is an innovative bento box that lets you enjoy authentic donburi dishes on the go: just put rice in the lower compartment, your main dish in the second sealed compartment, and sauce and other foods in the additional sections. Nintendo Doubutsu-no-mori Bento Set ~ Box & Chopsticks & Lunch Bag Also, see fresh stock of the bento box and "trio set" (spoon, fork and chopsticks) from Nintendo's Doubutsu no Mori (aka Animal Crossing) series, one of our most popular bento items. The Ghost in the Shell -- Bilingual comic. One of our most popular bilingual books, featuring a much better translation than the one that was released in the U.S., along with all pages in the book, including the few that were cut/altered. Enjoy fresh stock of this great treasure! Wacky & Traditional Items. Finally, see a bunch of fun restocked items, including the Cinnamoroll 3D Boiled Egg Shaper, our stylish KASURI x WAGARA Mini Tote Bags made of kimono material, our Jitte & Katana Set that can be used for battling small sized ninjas, and more. Fraulein Revoltech No.010 Yoko ~ Gurren Lagann. Wow, the newest Fraulein series from Revoltech is going to be one of their best: Yoko from Gurren Lagann, that sexy and interesting girl with the really big, er, guns. Because this is a Revoltech toy there are about a bazillion ways to pose her, making this one of the most highly recommended products to come along in a while. Signam 1/7 Figure by Alter Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS *Preorder*. This is a really nice new figure of Signam from the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series, rendered in large 1/7 scale in perfect detail. You can preorder this now for when it ships in December. Restocked Japanese Pens, Erasers. Back-in-stock stationery items include the KAREN Green Stylish Jewel Pen for women and the ENERGEL 0.5 mm Liquid Ink Ball Pen for smooth writing anywhere. Also see Finger Grips for handling documents and a favorite item of mine, the Electric Banana Eraser, because the world needs more fruit-shaped vibrating electric erasers in it. Dengeki Hime July 2008. Dengeki Hime ("Electric Shock Princess") is a great book that documents the very best the eroge world has to offer you, with page after page of gorgeous art and more. Free posters in every issue, as well. Princess Waltz Visual Fanbook. Remember that Princess Waltz is coming from Peach Princess, a great epic anime/card battle game with a fabulous story that can be compared to Fate/stay night in its scope. The game is being worked on now, but in the meantime, enjoy fresh stock of the official artbook. (We also have the cat off figures in stock too.) Ringo Noyamano Figure Kamen ver. ~ Air Gear. Awesome new "ero" figure from excellent manga artist OH! Great, and one of the most incredible ero/cast off figures ever released. Get her while she's still in stock!
