[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Japanese food theme reminded me of this special souvenir from Hakone I was given -- Oppai Purin (or "Breast Pudding"). The outside of the box says himitsu no deza-to ("Secret Dessert").
Inside it says jiman no purin desu ("A pudding to brag about") and yasashiku tabete ne ("Eat them gently").

The pudding itself was good -- custard flavor with carmelized sugar/syrup topping. This is very common in Japan and can be found at any convenience store (the pudding, that is, not this special packaging).

Hahaha.. that was funny. Japanese are always creative. Good photo. Well taken and well presented.

Wow! This one is surprised me! For shure in Québec here... We will never have some kind of meal like this, coz a lot of feminist will say this is banalisation of sex.

It's funny but the real question is: Did it taste good?

Technically perfect! Great framing & sharpness.

It's really an amazing & funny picture, I like it - I just wonder why you didn't post it on TE - as it shows another side of Japanese culture.

People like me, who never visited Japan, are always thinking about the tasteful & sober side of Japanese culture, but this is Japan too isn't it? Nothing to compare with Skorj's work for an exemple... :o)

Hahahahahahahahaha! Ahh those wacky japanese ;-)

Funny pic and really funny note. As for the quality though, you could fix up the levels to get a bright white. A less confusing background (solid colour) would also improve the presentation. Also a saturation boost (use curves) would add pop!

Cheers!

I need to try one of these someday... :-) But probably I'll only find the 'usual package' in SevenEleven... No souvenir for me... :(
