Incredible Japanese Wiener Art
July 17th, 2009 by James
A Japanese news program recently featured some pretty damn neat works of wiener art:
The wiener artwork is created by Mrs. Soejima, a grocery store worker who promotes the sale of wieners. In the report she shows viewers how to make an elephant (1:00 into the clip) and a sunflower (2:30 into the clip).
Her wiener animals are perfect for moms looking to make cute bento lunches for their kids, so Soejima’s area of the store is very popular.
Here are some screen captures of some of the coolest wiener animals (pigs, koalas, otters, sunflowers, a snail, and a little mouse driving a car):
In the video clip, you can also see some rabbits, beetles, and a few other wiener creatures.

See… the problem with creating art out of food is that you never want to eat it because it looks so good.
Also, ths isn’t really related but, i was just wondering, does anybody know a good site online to learn some basic japanese? I’m getting tired of not being able to read/understand stuff >_<

http://www.japanesepod101.com? They have some good podcasts for learning Japanese – I like it because you can actually hear it pronounced too.

And all this time I’ve been eating my weiners as is. Who knew there was a whole wonderful world of craft food out there?

Just because we don’t carve our food into exotic looking objects doesn’t mean these objects are impressive, especially when they look so poorly made. Type in food carving in the Google Image search box and you will know what I mean.
