Ramen company Ace Cook recently held a contest on Mixi (Japan's biggest SNS) for two new flavors of noodles for their winter lineup. The social networkers voted, and here are the results:
(Left): Curry "Rakusa" Harusame — flavored after a Southeast Asian favorite
(Right): Tsuyu Yakisoba — a fried noodle-meets-dipping noodle hybrid
Yummmmmm! These are actually going to hit stores on December 10th.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I'll check out Seiyu, or the local combini and give them a try.
