Outside Japan, they are collectively known as instant ramen but the Japanese know better than to lump all types of noodles together: even when talking about the dehydrated ones that are brought to life with hot water and offer a full meal that is amazingly cheap and tasty, there's ramen, soba, and udon. And when it comes to the last two, Maruchan's Kitsune Udon and Tanuki Ten Soba with their red and green packaging, respectively, are the most popular. To the extent that they have become a popular culture icon inspiring items like the Instant Noodles Blanket!
The Instant Noodles Blanket comes in two designs that pay tribute to two famous products: there is the red Kitsune Udon one and the green Tanuki Ten Soba one, both perfect copies of the lids of instant noodle cups – right down to the lettering, pictures, and even the Maruchan logo. The blankets are made of polyester fabric so are perfect for napping or just keeping you warm when watching TV, and have a diameter of 160 cm (5.2 ft) to fit all children and most most adult bodies just fine!
