Did you know

• The food that Lum prepares for Ataru is a confection called "sakuramochi". It is sweet bean paste wrapped inside a cherry blossom leaf preserved with salt. This snack is typically eaten during "hanami", an event during which people gather around cherry trees and watch the cherry blossoms fall.

• The food that Lum accidentally makes is tsukimi-dango, a type of dumpling the Japanese prepare for the Tsukimi (full-moon viewings) parties that take place in the fall. That fits the logical connection between Ataru eating the alien version of a snack consumed during the full moon, and him turning into a werewolf.
