Reader-added tags include "This looks like a job for Yuyuko", "Stark naked", and "A real man's mandrake" (originally punning ninjin (carrot) with two ways to pronounce the character for "person").

The survey's okay with faking the funk on some foodstuff junk...or something:

Which sample display food do you want?
• Tempura
• Sushi
• Vegetables
• Meat
• Sweets

80,000 yen for a carrot soup?! I mean, yes it's an unusual carrot, but 80,000 yen?! Absurd!

And for the survey, sushi all the way.

It's a display piece, aka fake. The craftsmanship that goes into these things is... Well, words fail me. 80k JPY seems about right, if a bit on the high end of things.

I'd love myself a sushi display piece.

Unusual carrot soup, effect: 100 tastes

Paying for looking I see.

Sounds like the gneric expensive stuff you'd see on any RPG shop.
