As anyone who has visited Japan knows, there’s a huge difference between proper ramen and the cheap, freeze-dried stuff on supermarkets shelves in the West. It all begins with picking the right crockery, and these authentic Japanese ramen bowl sets are a brilliant present for anyone who has set foot in a real ramen shop and has never looked back.
The ramen spoons, recipe booklet, ramen bowls and gift bag that complete the set will make a ramen lover’s Christmas this year.
