Undertoad Saturday Aug 25 12:28 PMAugust 25, 2007: Japanese ramen bath
I think I prefer the flesh-eating fish spa to this one in Japan, where the bath is intended to recreate a ramen noodle meal. The water is flavored with pepper, and colored a light brown to resemble pork broth. The noodles are some sort of salt additive when they eventually get dunked.
It turns out to be at a weird bathing theme park called Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, where they also offer tea baths:
and coffee:
and red wine:
Only one more weird asian bathing spa IotD to complete the weird asian bathing spa trifecta.
Trilby Saturday Aug 25 12:36 PMWhat, no chocolate bath?
YellowBolt Saturday Aug 25 01:59 PMThat's been covered too.
EDIT: I think those might be the same place!!
freshnesschronic Saturday Aug 25 02:28 PMWhat about milkshake bathes. Now that'd be delicious yet disgusting.
Trilby Saturday Aug 25 02:43 PMHow bored does one culture have to be before bathing in Ramen noodles seems like a good idea?
Goolyman Saturday Aug 25 03:05 PMAs a first post, I wanted to make a good impression and make a snappy remark about eating these people, seeing as they are sitting in ramen.
I couldn't come up with anything. I think i'll leave it to the pro's and watch how it's done a little while longer.
richlevy Saturday Aug 25 03:13 PMYou know....
I've always wondered how they made this flavor.
BTW, the proper term is 'Asian'.
(how's that Gooleyman?)
xoxoxoBruce Saturday Aug 25 04:05 PMWelcome to the Cellar, Goolyman.
You didn't think an ancient culture like the Japs would settle for plain old Soylent Green, did you?
I think the wine bath was an IOtD.
Sheldonrs Saturday Aug 25 04:06 PMAnd depending upon the ratio of men to women in the soup, you can either get fish stew or creamed corn.
If it's about equal, chowder for everyone!
runswithknives Saturday Aug 25 04:45 PMI taste a new olympic sport on horizon... Synchronized wine bathing!
Bit of a stretch on that one, sorry. Wont happen again..
Mr. Sparkle!

She's there to provide the half-and-half.
Goolyman Saturday Aug 25 08:50 PMBahaha. Thanks for the welcomes and encouragement, everyone!
But I really have nothing to say about these pictures other than I would never go in one of those pools. I would prefer to be shaken, not stirred.
Nikolai Saturday Aug 25 10:17 PMand they also have a sushi bath
awww shit its already been done
morie Sunday Aug 26 03:34 AMit's intended to create an actual ramen noodle meal??? but what if some lazy, inconsiderate or shy person decided they didn't want to get out and go to the bathroom and pissed in the bath instead? or if it's a kid, did something worse?
equally likely, what if someone stripped off and some horny chick decided she wanted to eat some meat?
hey, bon apetite to all the weirdos!

Different place. For that, you have to go to the Peehouse of the August Moon.
