Ramen Set: Paperback Edition

For the ramen lover who loves reading while eating, what better gift is there than this dreamy set — a book about noodles to accompany the vessel for one’s noodles? This set includes the sankaku Ramen Bowl, and the paperback edition of Volume 02: Ramen, complete with gold foil-stamped noodles on the cover courtesy of Editor-At-Large Stanley Sun. )

After a year and a half of hard work (and many, many bowls of noodles), we are proud to present Volume 02: Ramen. We explore the familiar carb-broth combo in its larger cultural context, while zeroing in on the specific experiences of ramen consumption — in other words, how people relate to ramen.

Produced in collaboration with a group of talented writers, recipe developers, and illustrators, the stories in this book run the gamut from the challenges of halal ramen and the rise of a tiny family-run noodle-making business, to meditations on searching for home in a bowl of ramen and the experience of eating ramen in space.

As for the Ramen Bowl? We made a porcelain bowl we wanted to eat out of; it’s perfect for instant noodles, but also curry, soup, rice — whatever your heart desires.
