Give yourself something Japanese for Christmas. (No, no, no, that is not a photo of me dressed as Santa in the above advertisement.)

Sadly, Santa (or anybody else for that matter) gave me one these sicko mole-bats, aka ” Moguri,” from the 3Yen’s sponsor, J-List , meh. Moogle Plush — Final Fantasy

This official Square Enix product measures 10 inches tall. Buy the fun Moogle plush now.
In Japan, Christmas Eve is considered the more romantic than Valentines Day and day most likely for couplings. Of course for Japanese otaku /geeks this means a romantic night with their computers and favorite Dakimakura/ hugging pillow.
Last October I reported on, …Party horror: Mayonnaise Margarita drink for the power “mayoraa”–Japanese mayonnaise freaks who like mayo ice cream.
Now here’s a handy item to show your true Japanophilia from our sponsor Jlist.com.

Use it for porting your dipping sauces and spreads for your Bento/ lunch box.

An odd lunch accessory from Japan that’s wacky enough to make a great conversation starter. Comes in a pack of 2 to make you doubly Monkey-esque. Buy it now!
And remember: “The nature of Monkey was ….. IRREPRESSIBLE!”
(‘Saru mo ki kara ochiru’ [猿も木から落ちる])
Domo-kun[どーもくん on Wiki] is the coolest thing the Internet has discovered in years, a brown monster who is the official mascot of NHK, Japan’s public broadcasting system. And of curse, the 3Yen’s sponsor J-List and Domo-kun go together like peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, or sushi and wasabi (or better yet like peanut butter and wasabi).
