Seen at an undetermined location in Setagaya district in Tokyo. In the ground floor there is a 24 hour convenience store and in the first floor there is a gym.

I think the gorilla is the mascot of the gym.

These unique Gundam-Shaped Taiyaki  are  served at the Gundam Café.  Since they are so unique and cannot be found anywhere else, I thought they deserved a special mention.

Here’s a close-up look at the taiyaki which is made from a mold of RX-78. Anyway there are called Gunpla-yaki and are a limited item on the café menu.

Images were taken off Akibamap and Akihabaranews.

Over at the Unschooling blog, Zee made this mini-crossbow from a pencil, Popsicle stick, clothespin, and a rubber band. It looks perfect for the next rubber band fight! [via The Hacktory]

Pepsi Japan just never knows when to give up on its exotic cocktails of soft drinks. After seeing Pepsi Shiso and Red Bean Pepsi, they are now back with Pepsi Baobab!

Before changing upon the article on Gigazine, I had never known what or who was a “Baobab”. So I wiki-ed it and found out that it is a tree that is native to Madagascar (having six species), mainland Africa and Australia (one species in each).

According to the official press release, Pepsi Baobab has a refreshing spicy flavor that is inspired by the baobab fruit.

While I doubt the drink would taste good, I really like the Africa-inspired design on the bottle label. Anyway, Pepsi Baobab is scheduled to go on sale on 25 May 2010, and will be retailing for 140 yen.
