August 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.

What, no chocolate bath?

That's been covered too.

EDIT: I think those might be the same place!!

What about milkshake bathes. Now that'd be delicious yet disgusting.

How bored does one culture have to be before bathing in Ramen noodles seems like a good idea?

As 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.

I've always wondered how they made this flavor.

BTW, the proper term is 'Asian'.

(how's that Gooleyman?)

Welcome to the Cellar, Goolyman.:D

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.

And 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!

I taste a new olympic sport on horizon... Synchronized wine bathing!

Bit of a stretch on that one, sorry. Wont happen again..

Mr. Sparkle!

Damn Sheldon !!!!!

Is that a barebreasted pubescent girl in the coffee spa, there?

She's there to provide the half-and-half.

Bahaha. 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.

and they also have a sushi bath
awww shit its already been done

it'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.
