Japanese Engrish  (English)  The "MOTHER" of Japanese Engrish sites!  An inspiration to us all.  Steve coined the word "Engrish" back in 1996, and was the first to use it for entertainment purposes.  His site has received over 220,000 hits from visitors!  Steve is da MAN!!!

Bushcat's Japan bits  (English)  Funny site, with very unusual Engrish examples.

The Page Page  (English)  The Page Family's entertaining look at Japanese culture.  Stop by their "Culture Corner" for great examples of Engrish in action.  Our personal favorite is volume #16, "Sock Glue".

Team Anime's Japanese Snack Gallery  (English)  Recommended site.  Good resource, with plenty of taste reviews and images of our favorite cracker snacks and candies.  Includes many rare Pocky flavors, such as Nagano Giant Grape, Hokkaido Melon and Honey.

Linna's Yummies (New Hyper Convenience Mart)  (English)  Linna's has many yummy treats on her Japanese junk food site.  Lots of nice images and product reviews to browse.

The Web's First Japanese Pizza Page  (English)  Wow... and we thought pineapple topping was extreme on a pizza (of course, we're meat, cheese and bread purists).  How about mayonnaise, tuna or sweet corn?  An unappetizing look at Squid Ink Pizza is also featured on this unusual site.

Pocari Sweat  (English)  Interesting page, with rotating and flashy graphics, on this peculiar isotonic drink.



Pocky  (Japanese)  Official Pocky homepage!

What's in a name?

theJ.A.S.P.E.R.
"The Japanese Animation Super Premier Entertainment Review"

Being Japanophiles of a combined 25+ years, we wanted a really good acronym that expressed our obsession/passion towards Japanese culture as a whole.  This has transcended the original allure of Anime (Japanese animation) and extended into a general appreciation of the culture.  From the food, to the language... we are more familiar with J-Pop than most native Japanese we are associated with  :-)  We wanted a name that was befitting our overall Japanesque.
