Starting next month, hungry otaku will be able to dine on Tsumugi-branded takuan (沢庵), or a pickled daikon radish food usually served in flat, wide slices that bore enough resemblance to Mugi’s luscious eyebrows to be referenced in an episode of K-ON!
What is takuan, you might ask?
It usually looks something like this:
A type of tsukemono (Japanese pickled dishes), the Tsumugi variety will be made by the well-known producer of prepackaged pickled goods, Tokai Tsukemono Corp. and should be available for sale sometime in February, as the poster above promises.
Neither an exact sale date nor even an approximate price has been revealed as of yet, but certainly any devoted otaku can look forward to another moe-styled addition to their kitchen menus.
Incidentally, the poster includes the dream scene of Yui’s that made the takuan reference from the show, in the middle-left next to the pink text that reads:
“~Mugi-chan’s Eyebrows~ This is really Takuan♪”
Combine this with a similarly themed product, such as Rei Ayanami Ramen, Clannad Curry, or Aoi Nishimata Moe-Rice and it would truly make for a decadent otaku meal!

Omg, I've eaten one of those at a Japanese friend of mine, and it tastes awesome.
Gotta see the Tsumugi eyebrow shaped ones...I bet they taste even better.
Hi again, Mechta.
Did my news post here make you hungry? ^^
Hi Quen~
Yeah, it actually made me hungry. I surely have to eat that again once in a while. ^^
Glad you liked it!
Ha Ha too cool I want some. Hopefully with all due time we'll have the whole K-ON! group in the kitchen.
om nom nom nom...
these are pretty damn good!
sugoi daikon
This is as stupid as the people who wants this
This tastes pretty good actually, I've tried it before while on a study trip in Japan... Now there's Tsumugi... Well it makes me want to go for the study trip again
I hate its flavor. But since it comes from Mugi, I may retry.
Goddamn advertising...
She looks like one of those girls from Love Hina/Ani-Hina.
I shall eat mugi's hair and she will become a part of me!!!
It's crazy how cartoons get branded into various products in Japan. I wouldn't mind finding various cartoon characters all over my food though.
Well, we already have a Mugi-chan beverage and now THIS. Count on the oh, so reliable F&B manager of the keionbu for endless culinary delight. Only thing missing would be being fed by Mugi-chan herself, complete with meido outfit. <3
ITADAKIMASU~~~! OM NOM NOM NOM....
So when are we gonna get Shanatan's melon pan ?
Ive hated those since i was a kid.
Tsumugi is looking exceptionally cute today.
Tsumugi is looking exceptionally cute ALWAYS.
FIXED!
Meals are getting moefied in Japan eh. I wonder when "Itadakimasu" will be changed to "Moe moe ~kyun".
日本ｵﾜﾀ
O_o That doesn't look like proper Japanese. I can't make heads nor tails of that.
害人だからしょーがね
ｗｗｗｗ
That is proper 2ch lingo
I can almost taste the sweet and sour takuan.. :3
Eat it as a garnish for Nagisa curry and Nishimata rice...
and how long will they say its been on her eyebrows?
Tsumugi wins again.
Takuan is good....
But Mugi branded takuan is K-On!-licious !
No dude, just no.
mugiii!!!!!!! do want!!!!!
I want Francesca Luccini loli breast hawaii toast!
With cherries in the middle. A double pack, of course. ^_^
FUND IT!
do NOT want
Takuan!!
takuan actually helps you disgust better. In other words Tsumugi is actually helping you to live healthier you ignorant fuck.
digest is the right verb
I'm disgusting you better, anon
You mean digestion, not disgust. I can`t imagine that word in context with Tsumugi.
LOL epic anon fail
Well i want!. Those are actually pretty tasty :3
even better that it's Mugi branded!
I would SOO Eat anything with Tsumugi attached to it.
mmm... Oven-Tsumugi with apples.
Wait what? XD
Not that you've tasted her.
She's yummy 8)
I would soo eat Tsumugi
so is your avatar unell, but wont hit it =)
Why do I have a feeling takuan is about to get a price hike?
Mugi-chan brand snacks...
Ermmm... Yum Yumm...
Loli snack for a Pedobear to love would be the best selling snack for the Japanese sell.
Is the pickled radish not tasty enough on its own that the seller felt the need to get Mugi-chan to sucker the fans to buy it?
It's probably horrible tasting and the seller will then explain it as "It's Mugi-chan flavored!"
Pickled radish has been around for a long time...
Anyways, all firms want to increase demand. Even if pickled radishes was hot shit, the producer won't pass off an opportunity to increase demand and revenue.
I actually wanna try these eyebrows of hers. This doesn't feel so much as moe marketing as it is a necessary dining experience.
