  • kevinnwhat · 2 years ago
    hahaha, thats pretty interesting :\ i want my own custom ramen ^^
  • fredy · 2 years ago
    Haha. Awesome. Custom noodles! I wonder who's gonna start collecting the custom cups... Haha. For some reason, I like the shirt with the chick. Haha. Kind of random, but I do. I actually had my first cup of ramen in El Salvador. Also kind of random.

    This gives new territory for party favors. Imagine setting one of these up at a wedding reception with the bride and groom's picture on it... スゴイ

    Fredy and Kevinnwhat:

    You should go to the museum! I bet you could find the chick shirt there~!

    Kurisutofa:

    That's a great idea. Kind of a random favor, though, haha. It would be great if they did this online, you know? I think that would make them some money.

    i must visit. what school did you go to that eating cup noodles was cool? maybe it's a west coast thing.
  • Erin · 2 years ago
    Onimusha:

    I went to a school in Hawaii, haha. I liked the shrimp flavor, then curry.
  • fredy · 2 years ago
    Erin:
    Shrimp and corn all the way! Peronsally, I add lime. I want some now... I have some! But no, maybe later. Haha, maybe this summer, hopefully, but I can't even get things straight for a trip to Chicago. Haha, so I don't know how Japan will be done.

    Online custom ramen would be amazing, but how would they mail them? Crunched noodle cups.

    It was cool to eat ramen in my school too. Although the Kimchi Bowl Noodle was more popular than Cup Noodles. This brought back a lot of memories, like how one of my friends started a short trend of adding coffee...

    I hope I can go to Japan soon. The cheese and curry sounds delicious.

    What school did you go to? I went to Waipahu High for a very short time before moving out to California. I never really noticed the cup-of-noodles as being a trend at school, but then again, I was the one always bringing spam and rice for lunch (>_<)… and sometimes the occasional spam musubi, but thats not much of a difference except for the added nori (うすい).

    Anyways, I wish they did have something for online orders, but I guess that’s just one more thing to add to the list when I visit Japan.

    PS: Looks like Erin is in the lead for the most obscure and interesting articles. Come on Koichi… were you at?
  • Onimusha Nosferatu · 2 years ago
    i'm boring... i only like the plain chicken and beef flavor. sometimes the cheese flavor, but that might be a diff. company. they should have a family sized ramen. imagine a giant sized cup to feed a family of four.

    During middle school it was "cool" to eat the freeze dried noodles straight out of the package with seasoning.

    Personally, I'm not into the instant ramen foodstuff. I'll eat it if I have to, but it's something I don't have any excitement over.

    Viet:

    Ugh. That was so gross. I had a bunch of my classmates throw up after eating just the noodles + seasoning. It didn't even taste that good. Kids are weird.

    whats the asian dream?
  • Erin · 2 years ago
    Nick:

    To have cool hair, tiny electronics, and a pop bad, of course.

    At least, that's what I'm working toward.

    Next time I am in Osaka and I am TOTALLY doing this.
    I think I had heard about it before, but just in passing and it probably registered as a "this would be nice if this type of place" existed story/memory in my mind.
  • Erin · 2 years ago
    Buririn:

    Yeah, my last stay in Osaka would have been much improved had I known about this place. Ah well, there's always next time D:
  • lonna · 1 year ago

  • Amanda · 1 year ago
    OMG, I am SO going there when I go to Japan!
  • Mai · 1 year ago
    How far away from Tokyo is Osaka? I'm only spending a few days in Japan this summer (probably all of it will be in Tokyo) since I have to go to Vietnam and Hong Kong too, but I'd really wanna visit this place :X.
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    @Mai

    I think its a good hour to hour and a half by Shinkansen if I rememeber correctly.

    The places you are visiting sounds like my planned graduation trip :)
  • Kirin · 1 year ago
    DUDE. I'm totally gonna go make a Doraemon themed cup of ramen. Frick yeah!

    I'm totally gonna go plan my ramen cup out....

    Except not, because i'm not going to Japan until next year....and knowing me i'll probably just lose my plans.......

    damn.
  • asian kid · 1 year ago
    thats awesome japan is awesome
  • Lisy-* · 1 year ago
    I didn't even know about this place.
    I would've made the trip from Nagoya to Osaka if i had known, well atleast theres next years trip!
    Anywhere else in Osaka thats worth going? i heard there wasn't much there..compared to Tokyo
  • emiko · 1 year ago
    the thing to do at my school was to have top ramen raw, but i don't thank that that is all to healthy
  • Erin · 1 year ago
    Emiko:

    Yeah, that was a fad when I was in elementary school.

    A lot of kids who did it threw up afterward, ew.
