Cup Noodle maker Nissin has just made fans very happy with its new Squid Fork utensil.
Back in April, a photo of someone eating Cup Noodle ramen with a fork that looked like a squid went viral and many fans asked how they could get their hands on a similar utensil. Now, Nissin has responded by releasing a Squid Fork as part of a limited-edition set. Each set contains a total of nine products, including the exclusive Cup Noodle Squid Fork and various Cup Noodle products like Cup Noodle Cheese Curry and Cup Noodle Chilli Tomato Noodle. As for the fork itself, the utensil is crafted into the shape and color of a real quid, with red and white marbling and tentacle-like tines.
The new Cup Noodle and Squid Fork set can be ordered online from Nissin, Yodobashi, and Amazon Japan.
