Designer Masami Takahashi originally created this specialized utensil for use at Sugakiya, a popular ramen noodle restaurant chain in Japan. The Ramen Spoon & Fork is designed to eliminate the waste created by disposable chopsticks, and to optimize the ramen-eating experience. The combination spoon and fork easily ladles soup and twists noodles, allowing the user to enjoy both at once. Dishwasher-safe.
