I found these boxes of tofu-cakes at a gift store in Osaka. The akujo, or "wicked women" tofu-cakes, promise to turn women into scary sex vixens; the otokomae "manly cool guy" tofu-cakes turn ordinary men into studly handsome masculine dudes. I have no idea how they taste, but that's not really why people buy these—these snacks come with instructions on how to become an evil seductress or a studly gentleman. Keep reading for tofu cake dating tips.
The akujo cakes come with instructions on how to be an evil seductress:
1) Show your skin - Being stared at by other people is like a beauty treatment in itself.
2) Everything has to be branded - Wear brand name goods and accessorize with good looking boys.
3) Lying is not always a bad thing - When you are on a date with a guy,
send a text message to another guy to make a date. Spice up your
wagamama or indulgent ways.
4) The men must love you more than you love them - A woman who has many suitors spoiling her is one who knows how to hook guys.
5) Trap of sweetness - Throw your web in all directions over to trap
men. Eat the prey you catch and savor every last bit, even the heart.
And for the gentlemen, how to be an Otokomae:
1) Hygiene and cleanliness - Be careful of how you present yourself, it is taboo to give others a bad image of yourself.
2) Be conscientious - Listen carefully to your girl talking and pay attention to the details.
3) Don't be petty - Have a big heart and be understanding of your girl's bratty-ness.
4) It's all in the eyes - At times stare into the eyes of the girl. Your hot look will make the girl's heart beat faster.
5) Be honest - When you feel happy, admit it. A simple thank you will melt the girl's heart. (by Emily Co)

My favorite part is that they're Tofu Cakes encouraging Cannibalizm. That's awesome.
