Me too! But they don’t sell overseas. I suppose when the COVID restrictions lift and Japan Post resumes shipping to the USA, I can get my friend to send me stuff via SAL. The Evilbay prices are highly inflated.
Greg,
The sauce had the consistency of thick gravy on Wednesday night, and stiff gel yesterday afternoon. I hope it will dry to a touchable rubbery surface. If it does not dry, it’s gonna be a real problem to dust!
I’ll be darned, that’s interesting. Again, it’s such a cool effect.
Good luck. Don’t overlook the Chinese grocery stores, if it is that sort of Chinatown. They often have kitchen and dining needs at great prices. Not sure about plastic dinnerware, but who knows. I get a kick out of looking at these sorts of items when we are Chinese-grocery shopping.
Greg,
Yes, Honolulu’s Chinatown is a full-fledged ethnic center with open markets, shops, and other Asian businesses. So there has GOT to be a store in there that sells the cheap plastic stuff. Heck, even the major local banks have Chinatown branches that are mere blocks from the ones in the central downtown business district.
So fingers crossed, and I promise to post photos of my friend’s food kit!
Lol, a Gamera bowl and I will be a very happy turtle!!!
I hope it doesn’t shoot flames out of the leg holes to cook the contents!
Gamera - It might be 2 years before I head back to the Dai Nippon, but I WILL keep an eye out for your bowl!
Greg - So a really quick dive into Chinatown produced this exquisite faux ceramic ramen bowl.
My friend with the ramen kit wanted a plastic bowl for lower weight and higher durability. Unfortunately, he got “wifed” at the last minute and could not make it over to the house this weekend so no photos. [:(]
BTW, the sauce on the spaghetti is still drying. But it was horribly humid over the weekend, so I’ll give it a bit more time. Meanwhile, I have moved it into a glass display case to keep the dust off.
Awesome! Glad the shopping trip paid off, nice bowl!
Appreicate your keeping us updated on the drying progress, I think I’m not the only one curious how this will dry up.
A quickie update! My friend made his ramen kit this past weekend.
It certainly looks more appetizing than a Cup Noodle, that’s for sure!
The soup is again a stiff gelatin-like substance. We put the finished bowl into the refrigerator to cool off the soup, and it gelled quite nicely. The spaghetti sauce is still kind of wet, so I guess it will need protection from dust in the long term.
Man oh man, those things look real!
Truly amazing. [::DD0]
