The Yunessan Spa House in Hakone, Japan, recently began offering guests supposedly soothing, skin-conditioning baths — of ramen noodles, thus elevating to health status what might be Japan’s real national dish.
The pork broth that fills the tub is genuine, but because of health department regulations, only synthetic noodles can be used. And it is not clear that the artificial ramen achieves the same (allegedly) beautifying collagen levels as actual noodles does.
