Just opposite train station Akasaka is the culinary temple for Tokyo’s hungry ninja fans. Specially dressed ninja waiters lead diners through an underground fantasy world with built-in obstacles. A drawbridge to the main dining room opens only after a holler from the head ninja. On the menu are hundreds of differently decorated ninja dishes. Careful with the exploding snail dish, while serving, the ninja waiter lets a jet of fire shoot across the dish. Also recommended is the bonsai dessert. The mix of green tea, chocolate, ice-cream, bananas and strawberry really looks like a miniature tree. After the meal a ninja magician presents some convincing tricks at your table.
As rainy season approaches, Japan’s Ishikawa prefecture has been receiving some unusual precipitation — it’s been raining tadpoles. According to prefecture officials, tadpoles have reportedly fallen from the sky in two separate towns this month. Although it is not unheard of for waterspouts and strong wind to to pull small fish and animals from water and drop them on land, no foul weather has been observed in the area, leaving residents scratching their heads in wonder.
The first reported case of anomalous tadpole rain occurred at about 4:30 PM on June 4 in the town of Nanao. After hearing a strange sound outside the Nakajima Civic Center, witnesses discovered approximately 100 dead tadpoles in a 300 square meter area in and around the parking lot. The tadpoles measured 2 to 3 centimeters long.
