THE YO-YO
Measuring in at the perfect serving size of 56.0mm in diameter and 45.2mm in width, the Bowl is definitely big enough to contain enough culinary delight to fuel your ramen craving; but not excessively to give you “eater’s remorse" (I can’t believe I ate the whole thing)! Weighing in at 63.6g with a hollow cup, the Bowl will give you a yo-yo experience akin to dining at a top tier Michelin 3-star eatery or floating onboard a private super-yacht with your own personal butler. The 4.4mm gap ensures that you will be able to get more ramen wrapped around that fork to execute the trickiest mouthful of combo string wraps.
The Bowl is constructed of Grade 5 titanium: an alloy of titanium containing 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium (Wolverine would be jealous), hence its name Ti-6Al-4V. It has much higher tensile strength through its superior stiffness to weight ratio and far greater thermal shock resistance than the commercially available pure "non-alloy" grade 4 version used in many titanium yo-yos in the market today. It is definitely able to withstand more abuse by aggressive ramen eaters on a feeding frenzy of fun. Do you know that grade 5 titanium is widely heat-treated in various industries to improve its strength? Imagine having a stronger titanium Bowl after pouring your searing hot ramen broth in there!

The Bowl Restaurant by EL x JW has only prepared enough food to feed 30 of you, by invitation only. However, we still may have room on the waiting list should someone fail to show up for their dining reservation. Those who dine will receive a numbered wrinkled receipt custom printed on an ivory card so you will have proof that you've eaten the best ramen ever. Never accept imitations!
The Bowl-branded ramen patch is one that culinary food critics say is "the greatest taste you can put in your hands to be consumed by the most discriminating of yo-yo players". This patch of honor is sized to fit perfectly in the cup of the Bowl.
Our customers love thick ramen noodles, and the Bowl was engineered to be played with these Yellow Ramen thick strings - soft, springy, and smooth, it slides easily in and out of your hands (or mouth if you are really stepping up your combos). Stringing multiple trick combos together will never be a problem with the Bowl.
The custom pink Ramen Fishcake yo-yo pads are steam cooked to a soft texture. These look and feel like the legendary IrPads. There has been an overwhelming “response" on these on a Japanese food website. Because sometimes you want a little extra! Every Bowl comes with an extra Yellow Ramen thick string and a spare pair of pink Ramen Fishcake response pads (in addition to the ones already installed). These are vacuum packed to make sure they are super-fresh upon arrival.
Designed for your hankering for a collectible takeout, the included waterproof sticker will able to withstand any ramen soup broth overflow or even the drool resulting from playing with your new fun food yo-yo.
