Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Bullet Train Lunch Kit

You guys are incredibly lucky. See, I was almost going to feature spider-pizza as today’s STJT — and yes, it’s a pizza covered in spiders, no euphemism here — but’s it’s actually so horrible and disgusting I can’t even bring myself to link to it, because that would mean I’d have to look at it again, and I pretty much just stopped vomiting a minute ago. So if you hjate yourself and your lunch, google it. Everyone else, enjoy this bullet train lunch set, which fulfills Japan’s trainspotting-mania and lets kids or immature adults have their own personal conveyor belt sushi meal. The wonderful TokyoMango lists the set’s features:

1. It’s a kit that comes with its own train tracks, so you can build your own route on the table.
2. The bullet train itself is two plate-sized sushi trays.
3. It comes with a remote control that looks vaguely like a control
panel for a real bullet train; a forward and back lever, plus four
buttons that make real bullet train noises alerting passengers of an
oncoming or departing train.
4. The kit comes with chopsticks and fake sushi, so you can use it as a
tool to teach kids how to properly use chopsticks and eat fake sushi.
5. It’s cute! (Most important aspect of anything Japanese!)

Too true, and I’d like to add that it is specifically much cuter than spiders covered in mozzarella cheese. You can order the lunch kit here.
