Trending: Cooking With Condoms Is The Latest Japanese Craze


If you thought condoms were only useful for safe sex, you were wrong.

In the past several years condom usage in Japan has continued to fall, resulting in a dramaticrise in cases of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. In fact, a 2008 global survey * put Japan in bottom 3rd for condom usage, despite estimates that the country produces between 20-30% of all condoms. So to help raise awareness for condoms in Japan, and close the gap between producer and user, Japanese authors Kyosuke Kagami and Opanponhave co-written a book that incorporates condoms into one of Japan’s most beloved customs: cooking.


The new Japanese cookbook featuring recipes using condoms has hit top 100 list of bestsellers on Amazon.
Condom Meals I Want to Make for You contains 11 recipes all calling for ingredients to be stuffed into condoms, like condom escargot cooked with butter, condom curry pilaf and condom meat stuffing.
Fortunately, the e-book’s raison d’etre isn’t just about the food, which frankly isn’t very tempting.
The new condom cookbook, which was just released today, is titled tsukutte agetai condomu gohan, which roughly translates as, “I want to cook condom food for you.” And to prove that this isn’t some elaborate prank, the authors have enlisted cuisine researcherYuka Haruya to oversee production and ensure that all recipes are practical.
The condom is, of course, utilized as a cooking tool, not an ingredient. The authors came up with 11 different recipes that utilize the condom’s durability and flexibility to create dishes that range from condom cookies and condom curry pilaf to condom oshi-zushi, which is featured on the front cover. It’s available as an e-book for 250 yen.
