this is NOT "super slim," this is JAPAN SIZING, as indicated on the shirt's tag.
This is not the fault of Pendleton; it is the fault of misleading product titles. The shirt is A JAPAN SIZE XL, and it would probably be a snug fit for a 10 yr old boy.....I couldn't even SQUEEZE myself into this shirt!!!

this is the tiniest/ It is not the size it looks here

I had seen planters like this in the Ghibli store on a visit to Japan, and was wishing I'd bought one, so I was glad to see this on Amazon.

It's more expensive than it should be for what it is, but it's also entirely excellent if you're a Miyazaki fan.

This is much smaller than I was expecting... because I hadn't been paying attention. It's a little bit bigger than a tennis ball. But it turns out there are (at least) two different versions of this. There's another size -- what I'd seen in Japan -- that's more like the size of a softball. (I actually really like the smaller size, just not what I was expecting.)

I can't tell what this is made of; it seems like it might be ceramic. The face is painted on. This would be fun to tuck into an outdoor garden, but I don't think the paint on the face would survive that.

If you really want to use this as a planter -- which is part of its cleverness, of course -- it's going to need something underneath. It has a drainage hole in the bottom. I think I might put it in a pot with other plants so that the drainage hole has dirt beneath it.

I'm not sure I'll use the included daisies, as that seems like too large of a plant for this little thing. I'm thinking that a viny herb like thyme would be perfect.

Pretty cool jeans but very small and very skinny. If that's what UR looking for, these are really well made. I had to return them and they still haven't refunded my money so I must contact Amazon. I believe they came from Japan

Good but being small and slim are completely different aspects. This is small, not slim:D they cood have give extra space by keeping the same slim look

This is small. BENTO BOXES ARE SMALL. I know the "bento special" at your local Asian restaurants may have given the impression that bento should be large but true bento boxes are small. This said this particular bento box is typically sized and it is amazing how much I can pack in it without really trying. The only real draw back is that the lids are not "airtight". The box can adequately sealed with the obi so it's not a major problem but I know some will find this annoying at the least. I wish Amazon would allow us do half stars for our rates because this really more of a 41/2 star product. As advertised the container are microwavable without the lids. There is one divider to help separate portions. To give an idea of how much you can pack in here I'll give a sample of what I've packed: in the smaller bottom container I fit a two egg omelette, in the larger top container I fit a full serving of baby carrots, a full serving of almonds and a baby bell (it's a small, round, wrapped cheese) and still had enough room to a couple of little "flower" sausages (recommended filler for bento). Like the picture the boxes and bag are very cute and to me at least seem to have a very traditional Japanese appearance. The chopsticks included seem nice though I have not dared to use mine-I lack manual dexterity. It would have been nicer if they were either the lovely red of the lids and bag or at least black of the sides and obi but they fit nicely in the compartment of the tops lid and at least they are not the disposable wooden kind. Overall if you want to get into bento boxes this is probably a good way to start. It's a great help with portion control. The price is fairly reasonable and product both attractive and practical.

It is very easy to use. It did a good job. So far I haven't got any idea about why it is designed so big. It seems exaggerating if you compare this Made in Japan with others made in USA.

Don't be fool by description that origin Japan. Better quality that made in Thailand by other seller that cheaper.

I wouldn't say it's a perfect product. But it is a well-designed one: it's genuinely Japanese, and it looks even better in real life than in the picture. But there is one problem with this product, that it's not the most stable item, especially if you live far from the seller. My item was damaged a little bit after it's sent from CA to PA. But the seller of this item is very responsive and generous during our conversation after it's delivered. So it's still a great buying experience.

The product is apparently what it is supposed to be -- a roughly 4" x 5" block of noodles.  The cost and also the wait time probably result from its being mailed from Japan.  The package is entirely in Japanese, so you have to find directions elsewhere for reconstituting the noodles for use.

item took 2 weeks to arrive at my door.  this isn't bad considering it came from Singapore.

Now, the shirt.  I dig it.
Problem is, it's a Singapore XL size, not an American XL size.
It's the size of a slightly larger than Medium, or slightly smaller than Large.
People in Singpaore are much smaller than people in the US on average.
So this is a warning about the size, because I cannot wear this shirt, at all  -  and I'm not fat or overweight, I'm actually just about average/normal size, almost a tad smaller.  This shirt is skin tight on me.  Most XL shirts fit a small amount loose on me.

I'm gonna try to sell it.

Pro: shirt looks great and is of nice quality

Cons: slow shipping speed [for some ppl]
  shirt size(s) are not remotely accurate for US/West wearers

The rating I am posting would be a 2.5*

Youve heard its an acquired taste before, so the idea of plum paste-filled candy from Japan fits the bill. Although made with top quality plums from Japan's Kishuu province, the candy doesnt look particularly unique compared with the mixed hard candy ubiquitous at Christmas and in the bottom of grandmother purses.

As is the case with many of Japans sweets, the hard shell&nbsp;&nbsp;isnt overly sweet. You get a nice floral hint before you reach the sour and salty plum center.

This candy doesnt last long in our household. We buy pickled plums to eat with Japanese rice. We chew plum-flavored Japanese gum. And we drink Umeshu (), a Japanese liqueur made from steeped plums.

You either like pickled plums or you dont. There's no middle ground.

I got this book as a gift. So, there's no damage to me (yet). When the book was wrapped, I thought it was a muscle training aid or something and was worried about dropping it on my foot. It's so heavy.

I'm a Japanese. Naturally I read a recipe of Sukiyaki Beef first. I was surprised:

1) The recipe uses rice noodles for Sukiyaki. Actually Japanese people use noodle-shaped Konnyaku (or Konjak or devil's tongue) but it's completely different from noodles.
2) Also this recipe uses leeks. Japanese people use Japanese green onion (it's fat and taller than American green onion but it's not obese like leeks). If you can't get Japanese green onion, you can replace it with American green onion not with leeks. (The writer of this recipe is a Welsh, I guess.)
3) This recipe uses suet. Japanese people use lard or beef fat not suet. (ditto)
4) This recipe suggests cutting "the steak into slices using a cleaver or sharp knife." Sukiyaki beef should be very thin (not see-through-thin like Shabu-shabu beef, though). It's impossible to prepare thin beef if you don't have a food slicer. If you cook thick sliced beef, it's not Sukiyaki.

Bottom line. This is not an authentic Sukiyaki recipe at all. Then I have to think the authors of this book do the same thing for Chinese and other recipes. As you know, "He that once deceives, is ever suspected."

Understand that this isn't slim or extremely light, but what you are getting here is protection. Well constructed with 3-layers of protection. Not very difficult to disassemble or re-assemble with a little practice.

Very nice product from Japan. It is slim & works great. Great price in comparing to others with higher prices with the same functions.
