Bath Time Cup Noodle Ippei-chan!

一平ちゃん 入浴剤!
Bathtub cup noodle!!
Actually bathtub Ippei-chan Night Stall Yakisoba (一平ちゃん夜店の焼そば) This is a bath time recreation of Myojo’s popular Yakisoba cup noodle. There’s a sponge inside made to look like the noodles and an included bath salt that’s a dead ringer for the actual yellow flavoring powder! But thankfully it doesn’t smell of noodle spice. Instead it’s cypress scented. Very woodsy and light. Quite enjoyable. I picked this up in Akihabara. I forget which store exactly. They had a lot of these fun gifts there. :good:




I actually used to eat these Ippei-chan noodles all the time for lunch a few years ago. It comes with little mayo packets to spread on top. Pretty tasty actually, haahaaa.

Had some restaurant Yakisoba this past weekend. It was alright. I’m sorta a picky noodle eater. But I WAS craving it. The “yakisoba” dish at this place could have used a little more Yaki and a little less soba. I like my noodles burned and crunchy haahaaaa. MOAR CABBAGE TOO PLEASE.

btw, haven’t commented recently, but I love your new layout. Though I love every layout you have, so I guess my compliments don’t mean much, haha!

yumm, I’m going to have to look for more crazy gifts when I’m in Japan next time. huhu~

The noodle bath is so funny! I am relieved it doesn’t smell like instant noodles. Do you know what “hokahoka” means? Maybe I’ll go try to google it. You are making me think that next time I go to Japan I will have to set aside a bag or maybe a suitcase for bringing back bath stuff.

Ohhh~ My sister loves that Ippei-chan yakisoba, a good alternative to my usual Shin Ramyun, but I find it good but a bit pricey..!~ =O *boooo* ~ That idea for bath salt is a pretty good gimmick! But was the sponge noodles usable/good? lol!

Super cute!
When I first read the title on your twitter, I thought they were cup noodles that you put in your bath water to heat up.

ah! I like my yakisoba noodles crunchy too! Well, the one time I had it anyway, haha (at my host family’s in 09-quite a while ago, ha). I’ve thought about trying to make it, but first I need to find a good recipe, and then there’s getting all the ingredients as well.

Haha, looks like instant noodle! I think I would laugh most of the time I’m taking the bath with that noodle sponge. Haha and then I’d want to eat it.

Damn you, I’m really hungry now…. Um…More so from the bath noodle picture than the actual yakisoba. Is that weird?

(yes)

 
January 26, 2011 @ 2:07 am

Love Japanese packaging!!
It’s packaged so much like real instant noodles~
Glad that the smell wasn’t some savoury noodle soup smell though. Imagine bathing in that… Hahaha~
I have no idea what yakisoba is but I WANT TO TRY!!

I’m the biggest fan of yakisoba! I want that sponge *_* and I also want to eat yakisoba now. I cooked “”real”" yakisoba (ah well, it felt real because I could get the right flavoring and soba for it in Japan I suppose?) at my friends’ house in Tokyo all the time when I stayed there last summer. I have a noodle addiction I think… ohoho

The sponge is so cute. I like the packaging very ingenious.

Haha I’m pretty picky with food too!
I’ve seen quite a lot of food-shaped baththings from Japan, I always think they look so cool. I’ll probably buy a lot of them when I go there because I just LOVE quirky things like this haha (quite possibly one of the reasons I love Japan is for all the quirky Japan-only products haha)

I LOVE YAKISOBA. i love noodles, though. fried noodles. and i also love it when there’s a ton of cabbage/veges with the noodles. omnomnom

Aahhh! Hahaha that’s such a cute sponge!! And it actually look real too if you look at it really quickly hahaha~

What an awesome find!! You really find some great wacky bathsalts! By the way, the sponge IS reusable, right??

Haha…I wanted to try these noodles until I saw they were like 600kcal…oh well…someday

jenny said

Courtney said

Oh, me either. I’m shocked now that I used to live off of instant noodles, pasta and poptarts and being smaller than I am now. o_o
