Police have arrested a man on suspicion of stealing student girls’ indoors footwear (uwabaki), adding a touch of dashi, and selling them as “hentai-don” (変態丼).
Don is the rice bowl dish that restaurants like Yoshinoya sell with meat and onions on top, usually as gyudon, and a recent symbol of Japanese deflation as chains compete to discount their ubiquitous meals and attract customers feeling the pinch of the recession. However, I expect even this product innovation was beyond the imaginations of the executives!
The suspect is 49 years old and and is said to have stolen around 748 gym shoes and slippers. He apparently simmered the pilfered goods for a week, before adding them to tamago gohan. The final pièce de résistance were bras and swimsuits grated and sprinkled on top. He sold the “hentai-don” for 850 yen (about US$10). Even the eggs in the tamago gohan were stolen from the school hens!
Still, it seems the current trend with Japanese men accused of terrible crimes is for them simply to write a book about their escapades, so perhaps the publishing industry will embrace this culinary pioneer!

Is this for real?
I was waiting for people to call this out! Well, it’s from the Kyoko Shimbun (meaning: “Fictitious Newspaper”, and I’ve made that clearer in the post now), which has made a name for itself, literally, with this kind of “news”. With all the crazy stuff flying around in the media about Japan it does almost seem realistic, right? No, sorry: this one’s (fortunately) too silly even for Japan. I was curious to see what kinds of comments this might provoke but clearly I underestimated the intelligence of JapanTrends.com readers!
Yeah, all the wacky japan stories can p*ss me off too. The sad thing is that I read the headline and it didn’t even seem to crazy at first, till i read the details. must be starting to believe the hysteria…
