In the Japanese version of MOTHER 3, a sign in the desert area recommends a restaurant that sells taiyaki and yakisoba. Intrepid reporter Izumi visited the restaurant a long while back and posted this about it: I went to Naniwaya, the cafe mentioned by Tomato a few posts up. In M3 Itoi points out that Naniwaya is famous for taiyaki (sweet cakes filled with red bean paste, shaped like tai, sea br...Read More »

Devon sent in this tidbit the other day: Tonight I visited a restaurant in my home town of Knoxville, Tennessee called The Tomato Head. They were featuring Earthbound themed specials tonight. Behold the Mr. Saturn Enchilada and the Orange Kid Wrap. Here’s a pic of the menu. Has anyone else been by there? Anyone know who the owner is?

Last year there was an odd contest by Vans and Jones Soda. Rather than try to explain it, I’ll just link to the post I made about it last May. Basically, one of the entries was based on EarthBound. It’s old news by now that the EarthBound entry won first place, as you can see on the official site. The fact it won by such a huge margin is really cool… but does anyone know what ha...Read More »

I’m not sure what magazine this is from, but it’s from way back when MOTHER 2 was released in Japan. Basically, the magazine people made some Strawberry Tofu for Itoi to try, and he said: This is really something! It has a profound flavor that makes me feel sad. (laugh) I thought this would be something an American with an unusual understanding of foreign cultures might make, but this...Read More »

This isn’t very well-known outside of Japan, but one day, while on a fishing trip, Shigesato Itoi visited a small curry shop near Mt. Fuji and was wowed by the curry they had there. His praise made the curry famous across the country, and thus “Itoriki Curry” was born, and an entire business built up around it apparently. Apparently this Itoriki Curry uses Japanese saké to get...Read More »
