Weird Japanese Products
Konnichwa everybody!
I just came a cross this weird interesting video podcast a few weeks ago that I thought I’d share. It’s brought to us by a Japanese news channel, and it’s called:
珍品堂 (chin-pin-doe)
which roughly means “Hall of Unique Products.” It’s basically a few overly-genki ladies introducing weird and crazy products in Japan (products that even the Japanese consider strange).
For example:
- postcards made from recycled horse manure
- a print-your-own-hat machine
- a $1,000 electronic fish scaler
- a solid gold computer keyboard
- ridiculous cell phone accessories
- etc… the list goes on and on…
The episodes are really short and the Japanese is pretty easy to understand, so it’s a quick fun way to get some Japanese practice. It’s definitely more interesting than typical Japanese TV, or most other made-in-Japan podcasts.
