Following up on an earlier BoingBoing post about plans for a "New Wave Ramen Museum" in Japan, our intrepid readers point us to two existing Japanese cultural institutions that celebrate the art of starch.
First: the Shinyokohama Raumen Museum's website offers a wealth of knowledge on the nomenclature of ramenculture. Link. Looks like it would be yummy fun in person. (Thanks, Lloyd Vancil, and michael yee)
And BoingBoing reader Steven C. Brown in Hawaii says, "Regarding the Namco Ramen theme park you posted earlier, Namco already has Namjatown, an indoor amusement park that features gyoza! Link. You can find additional pictures on my site. Link. Aloha!"
