Never underestimate kid's toy from Japan.
Even a 32 year-old-grown up man is so into it.
Konapun is a miniature, non-edible sample food making kit for kids, manufactured by Bandai, one of the biggest toy manufactures in Japan. Each Konapun kit contains a set of powders and what you do is to mix these with water and imitate cooking process -- your favorite spaghetti, curry rice, fried chicken, and even sushi is ready for you (A petit-version though.)
This magic powder is mainly made from Alginic acid, seaweed's constituent, and each food powder contains different additives to create the color and viscosity required to imitate the designated dish.

First, let's make curry rice. Oh, before that, you need a kitchen set, (JPY5,250) which contains literally what you find in a typical Japanese kitchen.
Here's the powders in curry rice packet. From the left, curry, rice, rice, potato, and meat.
First let's cook rice. Pour rice and water into a rice cooker, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
While rice is cooking (water reacting with the powder), let's get into curry. Mix curry powder with water. Here's viscous and spicy-look curry.
And meat. The chunky one.
Rice is cooked! Surprisingly, it smells and looks just like the real rice!
And here's long awaited curry rice!
Next, sushi. Let's make some sea urchin. One of the most expensive sushi.
Then, tuna.
Still hungry? What about some fried stuff?
