Resident Evil herbs to be sold as herbal teas at Capcom Stores in Japan
How many times has this happened to you? You finally put the last playing card in the tiger statue bought by the insane art-collecting chief of police and open the hidden door leading to the diamond-tipped cane that goes into the other weird mechanical statue, only to have a creature with a meter-long tongue drop from the ceiling and claw open your abdomen.
If the answer is more than zero, then you most likely appreciate a good herb. Now, thanks to our friends at Umbrella Corporation you no longer need to rummage around alleyway dumpsters and desk drawers to find them. All your favorite colors of herbs can be found at Capcom Stores and Cafes in Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Sendai, or online for 864 yen each.
First, recover some life with some Green Herbs tea, which is a blend of green tea and spearmint which is sure to refresh and invigorate.
Next up, we have some Red Herbs that can finally be used on their own. This tea merges the flavors and aromas of hibiscus, rosehips, and a sweet touch of stevia. It might not serve to enhance other herbs this time around, but it sure will enhance your afternoon.
Blue Herbs matches its unique color with the distinct fragrance of moringa and a hint of stevia. It's a firm taste that's meant to represent the poison-resisting effects of blue herbs.
Finally, extend your life gauge with the classically clean and elegant chamomile tea which represents the Yellow Herbs of the game.
Umbrella Corporation would like to kindly remind everyone that these teas should not be used in place of actual Resident Evil Herbs and there is no guarantee they can heal you from mortal wounds, treat/prevent poisoning, or prolong your life. Doctors are still your best option for all those things.
Nevertheless, judging by the reaction in comments online, many people are curious to try some of these. Many also had the obvious thought of anyone who's played the games.
'I wonder what it would taste like if I blended them together.'
'Now I won't have to worry about getting bitten by a zombie.'
'Looks interesting. I want to try some.'
'Seems like they would be more effective if I blended them.'
'They should make some decorative herbs too.'
'I usually only carry First-Aid Sprays.'
'They should have come out with this ages ago.'
Making it so the teas could be mixed would have been a genius move for this product. That surely would have taken a lot of research and development to pull off though, so maybe if this run of Resident Evil Herb herbal teas is a hit, they'll go back to the drawing board for that in the next edition.
So, be sure to clear out some space in that large briefcase you always seem to have but are inexplicably never seen carrying around to pick up these useful items. I usually ditch the flash grenades since I can never be bothered to use them.

Pokémon theme park area announced for Kanto region, opens in less than a year【Video】
First-ever permanent Pokémon amusement park attractions look like they're going to be international traveler-friendly too. With each new generation the Pokémon franchise moves to a new region, but as fans fondly remember, the adventures all started in the Kanto region, so it's only fitting that the first-ever permanent Pokémon theme park area is going to be in Kanto too. And no, you won't need to find a way to isekai yourself into the Pokémon anime or video games in order to visit. That's because Pokémon's Kanto region shares its name with the real-world Kanto region of Japan, which makes up the eastern part of the country. Poképark Kanto will be located in Tama Hills, which straddles the border of Tokyo and its neighbor to the south, Kanagawa Prefecture. The park, with an area of around 2.6 hectares (nearly 280,000 square feet), will have more than 600 Pokémon, the designers say, split between two habitats: the Pokémon Forest and Sedge Town. In the Pokémon Forest area, fans can amble along a nature trail surrounded by Pokémon great and small. Some will be out in the open, but others will require a keener eye to spot. Meanwhile, Sedge Town promises to be like stepping into a settlement from the games/anime that Pokémon Trainers pass through on their journeys to become full-fledged Pokémon Masters, with amenities such as a Pokémon Center, Poké Mart, and Pokémon Gym. This is also the part of Poképark Kanto Pokémon where Pokémon parades and meet-and-greet events will be held, and the designers say that the Primarina Fountain in the town square will be a place where you can 'connect with Pokémon Trainers and Pokémon alike' for an 'unforgettable experience,' suggesting that there could be some sort of interactive element to what goes on there. ▼ Oh, and apparently there's also going to be an adorable Pikachu flying merry-go-round too, according to this preview illustration. ▼ Poképark Kanto preview video Poképark Kanto will be situated at the edge of the Yomiuri Land amusement park, which previously hosted the limited-time Pokémon Wonder event. Poképark Kanto, though, looks to be a project on a much larger scale, and also it's going to be a permanent facility that's open year-round. The fact that the park's official website also has an English version indicates that the designers are planning to make its activities and events accessible for foreign travelers to Japan as well. It's not currently clear whether admission to Poképark Kanto will be entirely separate from Yomiurui Land or if some sort of combination pass will be offered. Ticket prices/purchase procedures will be revealed this fall, with Poképark Kanto's grand opening currently slated for spring of 2026.

Children's books about hybrid mouse-bread thief celebrates 5th anniversary with huge event
If bread theft is wrong, then baby, I don't wanna be right. If you have young children in Japan or have walked anywhere within eyeshot of a bookstore, you'll likely recognize the Bread Thief ( Pan Dorobo ). This is a series of children's books in which what appears to be a mouse disguised as a loaf of bread steals bread from bakeries around the world. It's a charming series that manages to pull off the very difficult task of making theft a fun and heartwarming topic for little kids to read about, so much so that it has sold hundreds of thousands of copies and is now celebrating its 5th anniversary with a big festival in the Ebisu neighborhood of Tokyo's Shibuya Ward. It's sure to be fun for bread-craving kids of all ages, as guests enter through the Welcome Arch and view panels of characters from the latest book, Bread Thief and Apple Mask . From there, they can get their photos taken with cutouts of characters from all the books, like the Fake Bread Thief and the Mysterious French Bread. After that, visitors will be treated to the never-before-seen Bread Thief Balloon that is said to be quite huge. After that, it's game on! First, kids can get some exercise and test their coordination in the Step Game by stepping in certain places to quickly move the Bread Thief towards his goal… which I'm going to assume is bread. Then there's a Ball Throwing Game where three balls must be thrown into holes in order to advance. Those who complete the challenges will get a randomly chosen celebratory sticker. Then there's another area of spots for photo ops, followed by the ultimate photo op and a chance to meet the Bread Thief live in the felt! That's not all there is to enjoy at the Bread Thief 5th Anniversary Festival though. At five times on 16 and 17 August, author Keiko Shibata will do a live reading and Q&A with special appearances by the Bread Thief and Fake Bread Thief. And of course, it wouldn't be a Bread Thief celebration without a full range of merchandise for sale. Whether it's key chains, T-shirts, tote bags, pens, bottles, and more, if it's got a picture of an ambiguous mouse-bread character, then it can be yours for the right price. ▼ T-shirts like this one cost 3,850 yen (US$26). If you happen to be in Ebisu from 14 to 17 August and want to see why everyone's crazy about this kleptomaniacal critter, then reserve your ticket today and head on down. Just leave your bread at home for its own safety. Event information Bread Thief 5th Anniversary Festival / パンどろぼう 5 周年フェスティバル Venue: Yebisu Garden Place 恵比寿ガーデンプレイス Tokyo-to, Shibuya-ku, Ebisu 4-20 東京都渋谷区恵比寿4丁目20番 Open: 14 – 17 August, 2025 Stage shows 16 August from 1:30 PM and 4 PM 17 August from 10 AM, 12:30 PM, and 3 PM General admission: Free Admission to play the games: 800 yen (in advance), 1,000 yen (same day) Admission to the stage show: 4,000 (in advance), 4,300 (same day) Official Website Images: ©Keiko Shibata／KADOKAWA ● Want to hear about SoraNews24's latest articles as soon as they're published?

Lotteria releases an unadon eel rice bowl burger in Japan for a limited time
By Oona McGee, SoraNews24 On July 16, Lotteria launched a wild, limited-time menu item to mark Doyo no Ushi no Hi, Japan's Midsummer Day of the Ox, on July 17. People traditionally eat eel or 'unagi' on this day for stamina to help combat the hottest period of summer, and Lotteria has taken that tradition to the next level by releasing a burger that contains more than just unagi — it contains unadon. For those who are new to the dish, unadon, or 'eel rice bowl," is essentially a bowl of rice with a seasoned grilled eel topping. According to Lotteria, their new 'Unadon Burger' contains grilled eel, a 100-percent domestically sourced rice patty, and shredded omelet as the main ingredients, all sandwiched between fluffy, chewy buns. ▼ On the bottom right you can see the official name of the menu item in English: 'Teriyaki Eel Rice Bowl Burger' With the chain describing it as a burger that truly recreates 'unadon', we couldn't resist trying it to see if it really lives up to this claim. So we dashed out to our closest branch of Lotteria, which is actually a Zetteria, and purchased one for 990 yen. In our eagerness, we arrived early in the morning, so even the staff behind the counter seemed surprised when we requested the Unadon Burger during breakfast hours. However, after taking a seat, our Unadon Burger was ready in less than 10 minutes, and when we unwrapped it for a first look, we could see the eel was so large it looked to be spilling out from the buns. Lifting the top bun for a closer inspection, we saw there was no sense of stinginess, with mayonnaise and a gooey, sticky teriyaki sauce generously dolloped on top of the well-seasoned eel. Beneath it all was a rice burger patty acting as the bed of rice in this unusual rice bowl, giving us two layers of carbs on the bottom. Taking a bite, we silently applauded the rice patty addition, as it worked beautifully to soak up the sauce in each mouthful and spread it throughout the palate in a way that was much more satisfying than a bun on its own. We couldn't deny that the eel was less than a typical beef patty, but in a way that makes it perfect for a hot summer's day. Each component has been carefully designed to create a harmonious balance between ingredients, and if you're a newcomer to eel, you'll be happy to know that the sauce takes centre stage, covering a lot of the eel's flavor in a way that's evocative of an eel rice bowl. In that sense, the new menu item really does deliver the taste of unadon in burger form, but it's only being made in limited numbers so you'll want to get in quick to try it while stocks are available.
