From the monthly archives:
The only fair way of doing it is going back to the first 10 and seeing who’s been the most popular, after another 10 J-Babes i can either add them to this lot or find a winner from 11-20, guess i’ll decide when the time comes.
So in order from least popular to most popular here’s the J-Babes Of The Week Top 10 #1.

Who is uematsu hidemi? – I won’t lie, i haven’t listened to much J-Pop since living in Japan, not that i listened to it prior to moving but you know what i mean.
So when i saw a “reader” named Uematsu Hidemi 上松秀実 leave a comment here one day i thought i’d follow it up and see what she’s all about.
It turns out the said lady in question is an up and coming Japanese singer with a very catchy first single “Dear My Friends”

If nothing else it’s a catchy name but in this case Tantakatan is so much more, it’s a tasty drink that features highly on my list of vices these days.
As part of my “Eating Better” plan for this year i’ve also had to look at what i’m drinking and while i can never replace beer i can reduce my intake considerably by drinking Tantakatun.
I can’t begin to describe the taste of it, i guess flowery would be a start. It’s very aromatic which makes it appealing and it can either be served straight or with water, i take mine with water as you can see here with my bottle keep at the local restaurant.
Tantakatun is in the Shochu family, a type of distilled beverage native to Japan and this particular one comes from Hokkaido with a main ingredient of Shiso.
