News: Ueto Aya with an apron, feeding reporters

Actress Ueto Aya is going to be in the new commercial for Sanyo Foods, it has been announced at a PR-Event on Monday. The new commercial is called "Durum Obasan’s Cup Pasta" and will go on-air on August 03, the same the pasta itself will go on sale.
Of course she attended the PR-Event as the image character of Sanyo and got inaugurated as the "Titular Commander in Chief of the Apron Corps", a title that comes with an apron you have to wear at PR-Events, it seems.
"It’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it…" Ueto commented on her apron. On stage she then demonstrated the making of cup pasta. "I worked really hard to make it, so someone has to eat it now!" Ueto became all playful and walked towards one cameraman, "Say Ah!" She sure had all laughs on her side, not only from the men…
Ueto herself started cooking at the age of 19, but the question is what would she like to cook for her future husband? "I’d like to make him quick things like Hamburger, curry or pasta. He should tell me his thoughts about the meals, but one ‘this wasn’t good’ and I won’t ever cook for him again in my whole life." The reporters kept asking, "How about a man as popular and known as pasta? (read: a celebrity)" – "I might become lonely with a popular person. It rather should be someone I haven’t seen before. However, he shouldn’t lack the firmness of pasta, that would be a problem!"
Anyway, Ueto’s best dishes at the moment are Japanese-style meals with a lot of vegetables. That’s already amazing, but she still vowed to concentrate more on her training for homemaking to make sure to become an amazing wife.
