Quite a few tiki people seem to fans of monsters so I thought I would share this.
There is a Godzilla shaped bottle of shochu that you can buy in Marukai stores in California. It's a Japanese supermarket that also carries some Hawaiian food.
These pictures were taken at the location in Costa Mesa.
The much nicer and larger flagship Marukai store in Gardena also carries it. The second floor sells Japanese furniture, light fixtures and fountains. If you like the white ceramic Benihana mugs they've got a shelf of them in the housewares section.
Yes, the price is $223.98.

Godzilla not wrapped in plastic.

This is an article on the story behind the Godzilla design. He was comissioned by the film studio behind the Godzilla movies, Toho Co Ltd, to celebrate 55 years of Godzilla.
