We’re now just a couple of weeks away from the Frozen Yogurt Party and so far, you’ve heard about the frozen yogurt.  You’ve heard about the pop up shop.  You’ve heard about the video game tournaments and even the Giant Jenga.

What else is there to talk about right?

Wrong.  We’re proud to reveal that London hip-hop artist Jaunty will be performing live at the Frozen Yogurt Party!

Jaunty has been an early supporter of mayamada and can be seen sporting their Samurai Chef tee in a recent video.

You can also pick up his EP on the night.  All this is on top of  a live DJ at the event, who will be providing a great music all throughout the event.

Jaunty will be performing from 9pm so make sure you grab a seat or any space going in what is sure to be a packed Saturday evening at Tutti Frutti.

Mayamada Presents: Frozen Yogurt Party

Get ready for our first event of 2013, coming this spring.  We’re hosting a frozen yogurt party at Tutti Frutti, just off the Strand near Covent Garden.

This FREE, one day event is taking place on Saturday 13th of April 2013 from 3pm onwards and you’re invited!

There’ll be lots of frozen yogurt, games and our popup shop filled with t-shirts, snapback caps and the new Samurai Chef manga book for purchase!

Two hi-definition screens will be set up for video game play sessions plus two tournaments for prizes on the Xbox360 and new Wii U consoles.

Games will include Mario Kart, Beat the Beat, Fruit Ninja and Super Smash Bros.  If you fancy yourself at any of these make sure you enter on the day.

There’ll also be a low-tech approach to gaming with the return of the giant Jenga tournament that was a big hit at the last Tutti Frutti event in July 2012.

Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update #6

In case you missed the comic preview over Christmas, you can still check it out right here:https://www.mayamada.com/samurai-chef-preview

And if you liked the first few pages, please take a moment to thank our artist Pinali on Twitter (@Pinalinet) for her amazing work on the Samurai Chef comic.

This week will be of special interest to backers of the Just Desserts perk as we can now reveal the New Samurai Chef t-shirt design made specially for the project.

 

Samurai Chef Indiegogo T-Shirt Closeup

 

The design features the, err…watchful…face of the Samurai Chef alongside the bold lettering “Samurai Chef” in Japanese.

It’ll be available in both men and women fits and be on your way along with the book itself.  Expect an email in your inboxes soon asking for preferred sizes before we make the print run next week.

 

 

Samurai Chef Indiegogo T-Shirt

 

For those that didn’t select this perk but are wishing they did, we’ll be making a limited run of the t-shirt and will have some left for purchase.

We’ll let you know the details of how to get them in the coming weeks, but you will have to be quick! Once it’s gone it will be gone forever.

We’re very close to the end now we can taste it…no pun intended!

 

See you again soon with more updates ahead of the book’s release.

Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update #5

So…world didn’t come to a screeching halt after all.

That’s great because we’re still working away on the Samurai Chef book and it would be a shame if we never got to finish it 🙂

In our last update we saw three different pets that were to become extras in the show and this week we can reveal the completed transformations!

Firstly we have our two cats Shiro and Kuro.

Samurai Chef Extras Kuro and Shiro

And last but not least we have the goldfish Diamond.

All three of these characters are being drawn into the show as we speak and will be seen when the book is finally release.

We’re now about a month away from the artwork for the being completed. Don’t forget that we will have a 15 page preview on Christmas Day too.

On our next update we will be able to show off the Samurai Chef t-shirt design that will be going backers who selected the “Just Desserts” perk.

See you then ^_^
