Befitting its status as a legendary Pokemon, Rayquaza has a lot of cool powers. Since his first appearance in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, he can fly, create storm winds, and shoot laser beams.
Now Rauquaza has acquired a new skill: delivering Japanese noodles.
One of Japan’s favorite summer dishes is hiyashi sometimesWheat noodles are served cold and dipped in broth, and one of Japan’s favorite ways to eat hiyashi somen is nagashi (“fluent”) sometimes.
Instead of plopping the somen noodles on a plate, they are placed in a kind of water slide with continuously running water. Using your chopsticks, pluck a mouthful of noodles from the stream as they pass by, keeping them moist and cool until ready to eat.
Nagashi can sometimes be done with a network of bamboo sticks cut in half, but Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy Arts has now created a motorized version using Rayquaza and a handful of other major Pokemon species.
Water flows from Rayquaza’s mouth, but Pikachu, Quaxly, Piplup and Psyduck aren’t just here for decoration. They also have chores to do. Since nagashi somen is usually something eaten with friends or family, it is important to decide in the house rules which part of the slide everyone can take noodles from, to avoid a violent clash of chopsticks at the very top of the slide . the course. So to keep things organized, Takara Tomy Arts recommends attaching the Pikachu and other Pokemon markers to the slide in positions that indicate the OK-to-grab area.
Takara Tomy Arts calls the set the Somen Slider Pocket Monster and is expected to go on sale on June 1, priced at 14,690 yen, just in time for the onset of hot, humid weather in Japan and the best time to enjoy this fun to enjoy. cool food.
