Yes, everyone has one. Some very lame examples include- collecting lame stamps from the post office, to collecting dolls and puppets. Yeah, that IS LAME!! My so call 'obsession' is way more interesting, trust me, you would want to find out about it.
My obsession is revealed! *drumroll*. . . Its food-related, cute-minatured, hard-to-find, rare Japanese Food box sets. What do I mean? I mean
Popin' Cookin', Bandai Konapun, Kutsuwa Food Like-Eraser Making, Meji Chocolate Sets.
See? They're all Japanese. This picture^ right here is Popin' Cookin' and Happy Kitchen sets by Kracie. Lets run through the top, I'm going to start naming the ones I do know. The 2nd row, first one is the Bento Set, following one is the Soft Cookie set, then the Burger Set, then Donut Set (I've done it before). The 3rd row is the Japanese Curry set, then the Ice Cream set, then Sushi Set, then Nerikyan Land set (This one is actually an edible play dough set for smaller kids). Then the rest are Neru-nerunerune, they're just sweet candy you just have to make. They're all edible, but it contains Gelatine which isn't halal. Continue to the next picture to see what a set would be like inside. I've only tried the donut set, the sushi set, and the burger set.
Okay, this is the stuff you'll see when you open up a Popin' Cookin' Sushi Set. I've made this one before, these Sets are really hard to find, but I found them at this Japanese Store called SHOJIKIYA. Its quite pricey, but it's worth it. Anyway, the food you make in Popin' Cookin' sets are all from powder packages like these^, they all taste sweet, and there's many different flavours. There's Chocolate, Vanilla, Grape, Lemon, Strawberry, Blueberry, Cherry, and a few others. You're suppose to mix little bit of water to these powder packets to make the Candy Food. There would be some videos at the bottom of the page about Popin Cookin, Kutsuwa, and Konapun tutorials on how to do it from this Youtuber I found. So.. READ ON!!!!
<-- This right here, its a total different thing.
<-- This is called '
Konapun'.
Its comes in little sets like these, and they have powder packets like Popin' Cookin', but they are
NON EDIBLE, you're not suppose to eat this. Its looks really edible, Japan technology is like way advanced, so i don't know how they make these stuff, but Konapun isn't edible.
Many children ate Konapun and became sick or had food poisoning, thats why they stopped making Konapun and it was dis-continued, but many people still have them now.
Konapun has many different types of sets, I think this one is the standard cooking set, theres a cake studio set too. The sets come with all the little miniature cooking utensils, theres a small rice cooker, which somehow works without any heat, theres mini plastic un-sharp knifes, theres mini cookie cutters, theres even a mini water dispenser smaller than the size of your palm!! Theres a mini 'oven' in the cooking studio, if you want to make cake, you mix in the cake mix packet and you add water and mix them in a mixing bowl, then you pour the batter into the moulds. You leave the moulds in the 'oven', and you wait for it to set, once it sets, and is not in liquid form, you can start icing it. Like in the next picture.
See the mixing bowl? See the mini piping bag WITH a nozzle? See the mini heart shaped mould? They're all so so cute! I cant believe these amazing things exist. Anyway, I'll try look for a picture showing some of the Konapun sets. (They're down below:)
<---- This is a Hamburger Kitchen from Konapun, it shows you in the first picture that
you can deep fry french fries, second picture is
you can flip burger patties on the 'grill', third picture is obviously baking the burger bun. BTW, The burger buns and the pizza bases from Konapun sets are made from some kind of rubber, thats why its so rubbery but yet it looks like food, I mean you can cut through it, and it still would be a little soft like normal buns would feel like.
Moving on.
This, right here, is a Hamburger set when you take everything out of the box. Theres loads of powder packets, so you could make them a few times, theres drawers, theres a deep frier, an oven, two mixing bowls, a drainer for the oil, a baking tray, plastic cabbage and lettuce for decoration, some moulds, a measuring cup, and a few utensils. Aren't they CUTE? :) :) :) :)
Okay, next is
Kutsuwa Eraser Making Kits. They are all like food, but they're erasers. In the box, you would find like a box of different colours, they look like play dough, but you're suppose to use the moulds and then you Microwive water and you drop the little cute food erasers in the water or something like that. I'll show you some pictures, thats what people like, right? Pictures.
There are just so many to choose from, and I really want to try making some, but sadly, I couldn't find them anywhere. This picture below is basically a larger picture of what the finished product would look like.
They are just so pretty.
Overall, I think I could say Konapun is my favourite, even though I've never tried it before. I love watching videos of it and I think they are awesome. So, below are the links to some of the konapun, popin cookin, and Kutsuwa eraser making sets. Thanks for reading! You know I love you xx B.

Okay! I hope you guys could watch these, but if any else goes wrong, just go to www.youtube.com, and search for
RRcherrypie konapun or popin cookin, or kutsuwa. BTW, RRcherrypie is some random guy who has many Japanese collectibles and antique cooking sets which has been discontinued.
