1. 200 yen for the noodles, 20,000y for the bowl.

2. “Hand-cut” with a power drill 😁

3. Silly enough to be crossposted to r/WeWantPlates

4. Those poor knives.

5. I can only imagine the noise 

6. Spectacular, bring me 10 more of them

7. Can you imagine how many knives they go through? It’s expensive due to the destruction of equipment in the making process lol.

8. That looks like it is going to be over-priced as hell.

9. Haha all that work for like 2 bites of noodles.

10. But why not just make a giant ice cube tray shaped like a bowl instead?

11. So stupid.

12. im already hating this

13. all that, for a fork of noodles

14. Why bro? 😂 what am supposed to lick the block of ice when I’m done eating the bite sized ramen.

16. This is at a chain restaurant called Nikuyasetsugekka. They specialize in kappo featuring wagyu, as the company started out as a butcher shop. A few years ago when they were designing their summer menu, they wanted something that would look good on social media, (Instabaeh in Japanese), and thus the carving performance and reimen in ice came to be born. This is the final course before fruit and tea/coffee.

17. dose price 3895.76$ 😭🤣🤣🥲

18. Oof those knives dude, they are just thrashed im sure

19. That’s ridiculous.

20. One of the dumbest things I’ve seen

21. r/stupidfood

22. Just a bowl is fine

23. What an utterly pointless thing to do. I’m here for it.

24. Stupid food candidate, lol

25. Very fancy

26. Why dont they just use freeze molds?

27. Hand cut

    *pulls out DeWalt brushless*

28. That’ll be $500

29. It’s a lot of work to get you one bite of noodles

30. the ice bowl is absolutely stupid but the video overall has got me craving some cold noodles and iced mentsuyu. it’s been so HOT where I live, over 30ºC nearly every day for like 2 months now (for reference, we have very cold winters that can get down to -20ºC and sometimes lower, and it’s usually less than 20ºC pretty consistently from august to april. sustained heat this long into august is unusual)

31. Well, I hope the drill bits are lead free

32. What was wrong with bowls you’d put in the fridge?

33. I’m assuming it’s an experience thing and it’s probably expensive too. At that point, I’d also be eating the hell out of that ice bowl as if my iron is low af.

34. gimmick. gimmick, japan.

35. I’ve never understood cold soup, whatever the format.

36. But how can they handle that without gloves

37. ehh its just a gimmick

38. How pretentious and vapid

39. Couldn’t they have made an ice mold for the bowl?

40. Does that actually taste good

41. Bro use a mold

42. Hand cut, proceeds to use power tool.

43. He….cut the noodles? Why? WTF?

44. Japan is truly on another level

45. Lol the lot of you complaining about portions – might wanna look up what tasting menu / kaiseki is. Maybe try eating at a place nicer than your shitty local chain for once

46. r/StupidFood

47. thats just one bite dawg

48. I’ve never had reimen before. What are those little purple bits sprinkled at the end? What does taste like?
