Cute Enough to Eat - Q-Pot Baby
Q-pot Baby is a newish kid’s line from Japanese food-themed accessory makers Q-pot which debuted in November 2007. It includes the same weirdly cute dessert-inspired accessories from the main line with the addition of quirky chocolate and biscuit print clothing in a gorgeous palette of dusky pinks and deep browns. Yummy!

Say Cheese-cake Again!
Today, I’m going cheesecake-crazy. I’m dedicating this entry to Fanny of Foodbeam - Your email made me very happy today and I believe you’ll love these beauties. :):):)
Everyone sitting comfortably? Good, then we’ll begin.
(All websites are in Japanese)
Handsome-looking rectangular cheesecake from Anniversaire. If I have to fight for this, I’ll grab the ends first. I ♥ cheesecake crust.
A perfectly-sized-slice-for-me chocolate cheesecake from Nissen. Though I love to eat them, I like to have small servings at a time. This looks like the perfect size to me. I’ll have 5 slices, please. Ooops!
Stripey crust cheesecake from Potager. Ah, reminds me of circus tents — fun!
File these under “interesting”. 55cm-long cheesecake and zunda(edamame paste) cheesecake with edamame beans from Enfan.

Re-Ment ♥ - It’s No Secret
Re-ment (Reform The Entertainment) is a Japanese company that manufactures Puchi Petites — scaled miniatures of everyday items. If you’re into dolls, Re-ment miniature replicas would be a great addition to your dolly’s world:
Speaking of dolls, I saw a woman carrying a Volks Super Dollfie (a 1:6 scale ball-jointed doll) in her arms at a bookstore the other day. She treated it like it was her baby, talking and fussing over it. It was… weird. But even if dolls aren’t your thing, there’s no reason why you can’t appreciate the realistic-looking collectibles:
Rement products are not expensive, most selling at 200-400 yen (around USD3), but they are sold in a series of mystery boxes ala trading cards so you may need to buy a few boxes from the same series before you could get the item you want (though it is possible to buy single unboxed items at a higher price). I didn’t know this prior to my trip to Tokyo so when I insisted to a salesgirl there that I wanted item no. 9 on the box she was all “Secret! Secret! All SECRET!!!” LOL
Collections from Re-ment (Japan) site:
Harapeko - Kitchen appliances with animal faces
Petite Mode - Tiny fashion items, costumes and accessories
Collections also available from Re-ment International (English site):
Have A Bite! - Street Food such as crepes, burgers, ice-cream and Japanese snacks
Re-ment Bakery - This collection is no longer available
Elegant Sweets - Tea party essentials like cakes, cookies, chocolates

Mr Moffles
What’s a moffle maker? Mochi (or muah chee) is glutinous rice pounded to a paste and formed into shapes. A moffle is a mochi waffle. A moffle maker makes moffles.

It’s Always Greener
I know for a fact that I enjoy green tea neat as a drink but don’t really fancy having it in cakes or biscuits, but somehow, I am yearning for these wonderful looking goods from Daisan(jp):
My theory is if you put Japanese characters around large, bright photos of a product , it will confuse your brain into thinking that it looks and tastes more delicious than anything you’ve ever tried before.
