On the way home from work, I went into a pet shop just for the heck of it, and in a fit of nostalgia, I bought this.pssshI've read about the revival of the yukkuri boom on the internet, so I think I have a fair bit of knowledge now. They shouldn't end up eating each other and all dying in two weeks like they did when I was a kid. I'm looking forward to the color these manju will bring to my life.Now then, next I need to prepare a home for these guys. It's not only frozen yukkuris--most pet-type yukkuris have been modified not to grow very large, so any old aquarium is enough. However, some people like to try to recreate a natural environment inside the aquarium, or fill it with special soil and watch the yukkuris dig nests like an ant farm. Of course, I won't bother with anything so inconvenient--I just dump the yukkuris into the big aquarium I bought along with them. Not that it makes much sense for me to have spent more money on the container than on its occupants.Whoops! I'd forgotten that they always do that. Maybe I should have put a pot or something over them. I can only pray that my next-door neighbor doesn't yell at me.They say the discovery of hibernating yukkuris in a certain part of Northern Japan led to the development of the frozen yukkuri pack. Normally, hibernating animals raise their levels of unsaturated fat to prevent freezing, but being manju, apparently yukkuris achieve the same effect by condensing their bean paste and reducing their moisture content, drying themselves out. Even though their texture is poor, they gain a rich sweetness, so they are used to make a variety of local specialties. That was the foundation for the leap to frozen yukkuris for consumption and recreation.Virtually everyone has pleasant childhood memories of Raise-Your-Own Yukkuris--memories of crushing them, or of neglecting them until they died. Unlike high-quality pet yukkuris, they were cheap and mass-produced, so they were wildly popular when I was a kid. All my friends and acquaintances say they used to use yukkuris for their summer-vacation science projects. With the end of the fad, I thought they had stopped making these to concentrate on the high-end pet market, but boosted by new improvements, apparently they're making a comeback.easy!Eajy!Take it easy!Take it easy!Yu-Yu-Yu-steam steamTaking the container out of the microwave, I peel back the crappily-illustrated cover. Oh, it looks like the free bonus is a baby yukkuri. I'm not sure whether that's a loss or a gain. Yu-Yu-The primary change is that their vocabulary has been limited, bringing them closer to their primitive origins. Naturally, that means there's no fear of them using bad language and being a bad influence on children. This may be a cold, lonely time for punishment fans who get fired up by yukkuris cursing a blue streak, though.
Now then, they didn't even last two weeks when I was a kid, but let's see how it goes this time.Take it e...Meanwhile, I begin to hear faint noises. Looks like I got the heating time right and successfully awakened them from their hibernation.RAISING YUKKURISREIMU-TYPE
