Sumikko Gurashi: A Second Helping of Corn, Stationery Style

In which I finally find time for some Corn love. Hooray! I finally get a chance to talk about these items I had remaining from the recent and amazing Shirokuma’s Nice and Warm Corn Soup collection from Sumikko Gurashi (see here for the plushies). I’ve got three types of items today, the first of which […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-ment Sumikko Everyday Terrarium

In which sweet little Sumikko are perfect no matter the season. My love of a good Re-ment terrarium is pretty well documented. I’ve written about several of the Pokemon sets, but I also own a number of others, mostly Sumikko-related. I’d forgotten that my recent amiami order included one too. It has the rather long […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-ment Funwari Mocchiri Yakitate Panyasan

In which we mix Sumikko, bakery goods and Re-ment for an unsurprisingly tasty treat. I’m still puzzling through the realities of the relationship between Sumikko and Re-ment. I’ve mentioned in other blog entries that I’ve always assumed that licensed character Re-ment sets are of lower quality, but I’ve been going through a lot of Pokemon […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Ebi Furai no Shippo Tenori Plush Gift

In which a shrimpy little gift gives me a great big smile. As I’ve been trying not to bite my fingernails off while we waited for election stuff, I got so behind I wasn’t even unboxing things coming in the mail. Since things have calmed down a bit, the tiniest of bits but a bit […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Several Random New Things

In which we’ve got a lot of sweet cuteness to catch up on. Poor Sumikko — you’ve gotten a bit piled up with all this Pokemon! Let’s remedy that. It’s actually not that I haven’t been buying Sumikko stuff; it’s more that the things I’ve been buying require a bit of work to write about, […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Tapioca Park Notepads x2

In which we return again to the lovely Tapioca Park, knowing this won’t be our last visit. I’ve still got some Tapioca Park-themed items to show you–today, let’s look at the standard San-x six-inch-by-four inch notepad, with both of the variations since I couldn’t choose just one. How many times have I said I love […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Agekko Rubber Charm Set

In which, just like always, I don’t leave a single fried friend on my plate. I guess it’s good my life is simple in one way, at least — San-x releases Tonkatsu-heavy merchandise, I buy Tonkatsu-heavy merchandise, I write about it delightedly here, and then I go eat some forty cent dinner with my leftover […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Omoshiro Fan (Dagashiya) + Room Mat (Issho ni Otamarikai)

In which we have two sweet little treats from the Sumikko gang at a bargain price. I was going through my iPad the other day and realized I had photographed some items for the site and got, predictably, distracted by something else and forgot all about them. So let’s have a double feature of two […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-ment Doki Waku Kenkou Shindan

In which I’m not so impressed by the facilities, but you can’t beat the staff. I always hate admitting it, because I’m 4.51 million years old for starters, but I’m afraid of going to the doctor’s office. I have my reasons, none of which are super pleasant, but I get so nervous about visits I […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Tapioca Park Scene Plush + Tenori Plush Tapi Unicorn

In which I relax in the bliss of Tapioca Park with some dear friends. Today I received an amiami order (it arrived overnight from Japan to the USA, and I’m still pretty in awe of that!) with so many goodies it’s hard to know where to start. But I couldn’t resist checking out these Tapioca […]
