It sounds like a crazy idea, but you really have to see this to believe it. This is the Japanese version of eating alfresco, as this is how eating the Somen noodles would be eaten in rural Japan. Guests have to try to catch the noodles as they slide down a bamboo pipe with chopsticks; it is harder than its sounds. This experience of Japanese cuisine is being brought from rural Japan the kitchens of the western world.

How to Use

Put two D batteries in the base, and put together the slide above it (takes about five minutes)
