Now, it's no secret that some of the best and brightest skinnovations come from Japan, where they take beauty very seriously (as both an art form and a technologically-driven industry). But at a certain spa theme park, they're going back to their roots with old-school ingredients intended to mimic the fountain of youth via your favorite 50-cent snack ramen noodles.
Says Advertising Age:
A spa theme park located in Hakone, Japan, called Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, offers "amusement" baths, including a wine bath, a green-tea bath, a coffee bath, a sake bath and even a ramen-noodle bath. For the last, developed by famous Japanese ramen shop Nantsuttei, bathing suit-clad customers are a key ingredient in the broth. The bath is shaped and decorated like a real ramen bowl, with chopsticks and noodle decorations hanging over the hot tub. The pepper-flavored water contains collagen and garlic extracts, believed to improve skin. A man dressed as a chef dispenses noodle-shaped bath additives to everyone packed into the hot tub. He also dispenses soy sauce. Real wine, coffee and other drinks are poured into different baths in a similar fashion.
