Random Japan #59 :: UFO Noodles
Hello wonderful and amazing people. Welcome to the latest issue of Random Japan, the series that shows you normal, ordinary, and everyday looks at the country.
Today, UFO noodles! Need I say more?
Ready to get started? Good. Let’s jump in. Let’s enter…
Random Japan!
I was thinking of @kotturinn when I took this shot. Here are some of the many many many instant noodles available in the store.
Old Jizo-sama has small homes all over Japan in these tiny roadside shrines. Seeing people pause, bow, and offer a prayer is not uncommon.
Another of the many abandoned houses of Japan.
And that’s all, folks. Thank you for reading. See you next time when, if providence allows, I shall return with another Random Japan.
If you like this random photo from Japan, be sure to check out @kaliju’s great Random Korea series. The latest entry there is My Random Korea #36 D.Live Edition! - Matcha Tea is NOT Japanese as the world knows it!?
Also be sure to follow @kafkanarchy84, @maxinpower, @boxcarblue, and @wllmdnnd for even more random Japan fun! @jrvacation has the occasional randomjapan post too. Also, be sure to follow the #randomjapan tag for more from Japan and #randomasia for random shots from the entire area.

Do the UFO noodles fly away? lol
Of course, these are straight from the flying spaghetti monster school !
Man, I love noodles but I think I'd be paralysed by choice in front of all that!
The contrast of that tiny shrine against the urban framing is pretty striking - like old and new worlds coming to a compromise. It's definitely a positive sign they're still getting some use.
Dude. UFO Noodles are so random japan. Always in the subconscious background of everyday life here. So fucking perfect!
Those were actually my favorite noodles when I was in Japan!!! Will never forget.
I need those UFO ones! They look cool! :D
