Actress Ko Shibasaki recently appeared to promote Let's Quiq, the new pasta sauce that could have been more tastefully named by Ajinomoto Corp. Shibasaki stars in the Let's Quiq commercial for the pasta sauce that can be cooked in a fry pan, running to a friend's home in the middle of the night to borrow cooking utensils. "I was told to run like a penguin, so I ran while making sure I was doing it properly," the popular starlet says. "I like sprinting. I'm confident of my body's strength."
