Damn it Japan! Can’t you just chill out for two seconds and stop being so awesome and innovative all the time? I was fine with peeling potatoes the old fashioned way we’ve been doing it since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, but now you have to come along with your fancy technique and put us all to shame.
