Ramen making robots

August 12th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

I just read on Wired’s GadgetLab about a Ramen shop in Nagoya, Japan that uses robots to make “perfect” bowls of ramen.

I never made it to Nagoya but am surprised I didn’t come across this elsewhere in the country. It’s pretty cool, and definitely a novelty to watch, especially the little shows they put on when there is no ramen to make. Though seriously, how hard is it to make a good bowl of ramen? It’s noodles and broth. Sometimes there are toppings. I never had a bad bowl of ramen the whole time I was there. And trust me, I ate a lot of it.

Not that there is anything wrong with pointless technology (or is there?).

    I’ve always wondered why someone didn’t do that here in the U.S. Not the ramen, but the robot fast food. It’s got to be cheaper in the long run than hiring grubby little teenagers, and you wouldn’t have to worry about what those grubby little teens were doing to your food while they were preparing it.
