While searching for rations on google I can upon this:
Seems to be some sort of anime themed ration, since I don't watch the series I don't understand what it's about.
All food is to use "ready-made meal type II," the minutes used in the private sector procurement, JSDF garrison, with the same content that is actually used in such exercises.
So what I gather from that is that this commercially repackaged ration contains some of the contents used in the JSDF type II ration?
Haha, it made my laugh.. It's just great how enthousiastic japanese people are while explaining something.
By the way, there is nothing wrong with horse meat.. it's quite common in a lot of countries..
Try Dutch paardenhachee or zuurvlees.. you will like it
British people don't eat it because horses are noble animals; in the rest of the world they are lifestock on which you can ride on
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
This Ration is not related to animation.
It is the Ration for civilian which imagined JGSDF's Ration and was made.
I regard this as aiming at acquiring people's curiosity rather than for a food stockpile.
The same things as the Ration which each unit of JSDF purchases for an exercise are contents of this Ration.
It differs from the formal Ration which the Ministry of Defense purchases.

Although he said it the "cup", he did not say it a "sausage."
The sausage contained in this Ration is made from chicken, horsemeat, and pork.
Although Japanese people seldom eat horsemeat, in some areas, it is liked very much.

Listen very carefully at 0:41, right before the "spoon", he say´s "Wiener sausage" to me. Or is it a Japanese word that sounds like the English "Wiener sausage"??
ah, so all I had to do was ask you laughing_man? Wow, can you believe for the past few days I've been struggling with translators, asking various friends who can almost speak Japanese, and going as low as asking Japanese people who want to learn English on Skype? From Skype all I got was "this is food, which is not to go bad." instead of what you said. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Yes, I hear wiener sausage as well. He speaks rather good English as demonstrated here:
So it's not hard to believe that he did in fact say wiener sausage.
However I have a question directed at laughing_man, what is this 戦闘糧食Ⅱ型仕様 「セガのアミューズメント施設限定」UFOキャッチャー用景品?
I've heard of UFO catcher before, in fact one of my local import store has two of them. But is this some sort of prize you can win or ???
I also translated the pdf file on the site for cooking the contents of the ration, and if laughing_man will kindly correct any grammatical mistakes made by the translator or myself I'd appreciate it. The original Japanese version is posted below, and below that is the English translation and correction. I also moved the warning section to the top as would be more common with English food products.

You are right.
He has said it the "Vienna sausage."
fdsman, You translated Japanese in general correctly.
However, "わかめスープ" is "wakame seaweed soup" more correctly.
For example, how about translating as follows?
Please cut "instant wakame seaweed soup" open, move contents to an enclosed paper container, pour out 180cc of boiling water and take it.
Is there any sentence it is harder for you to understand?
Or is it a Japanese word that sounds like the English "Wiener sausage"??
