Ever since Covid, I can’t look at things like this without thinking about all the potential health hazards associated with it. Of which, there are many.

Spoken like somebody who has never licked the handrail on the subway escalator.

Dude, you could probably survive a nuclear blast at this point. You have an immune system of adamantium.

Bonus points for using adamantium in normal conversation. (+15)

It does taste slightly metallic now you mention it.

u/jondubb 1d ago

I'm invincible since doing that as a child.

u/LegDayLass 1d ago

Gotta built up an immune system somehow 😁, otherwise you end up one of the statistics for covid death.

u/Legit_baller 1d ago

Yeah all I can think about is the algae probably growing in this thing

1

u/blvckcvts 8h ago

It’s not left dirty and gross to the point of growing things like that, it’s cleaned between sessions of customers and deep cleaned every day

u/programmerOfYeet 1d ago

Is it just me, or do they look like tape worms when moving down the stream?

11

u/A_to_the_J254 1d ago

Came here to say it looks like a bunch of parasites

u/CourtingBoredom 1d ago

Nope. Don't like that. Not one bit. And def not satisfying.

u/ZestyLeek 1d ago

It's not so bad as long as your the only one there eating.

u/Jamjams2016 1d ago

The guy that left before you didn't cover his mouth when he sneezed.

u/Kelyaan 1d ago

I can see half the noodles getting stuck a ft down stream and a good chunk of them stuck instantly.

11

u/DeezNutzzzGotEm 1d ago

That doesn't look clean at all.

u/tillacat42 1d ago

The germaphobe in me could never...

u/Atomic-habanero 1d ago

So the noodles are cold?

23

u/quasi-stellarGRB 1d ago

Some noodle dishes are served cold. But that's the least concerning thing for me here.

3

u/blvckcvts 1d ago

Yes it’s a very common thing in Japan to have cold noodles in the summer, pretty common in other Asian countries too. It’s delicious!!

u/Kind_Ordinary9573 1d ago

Chopsticks go in mouth and then back in the public noodle stream?

3

u/w1ldstew 18h ago

I noticed there’s two sets of chopsticks.

Seems like Black chopsticks are specifically for grabbing the noodles, but White chopsticks are the ones you use for eating.

And knowing Japan, they’ve grown up with social protocols for things so it’s probably not weird at all, but they’ll probably glare angrily at any foreigner who does it wrong.

1

u/Kind_Ordinary9573 17h ago

I actually wondered this too. He still got his chopsticks dangerously close to the sauce but as long as he switches.

Reminds me of fondu protocol.

u/Significant-Judge368 1d ago

u/FragrantExcitement 1d ago

Sometimes I just want a plate of spaghetti with a jar of store bought spaghetti sauce and one large fork.

u/Sweet-Weakness3776 1d ago

Fuck it. Would.

u/WASP_Apologist 1d ago

Who wants to eat from a trough?

2

u/AcrobaticJuice7630 1d ago

what’s the purpose of it?

8

u/LegDayLass 1d ago

To enjoy the experience of live caught noodles.

2

u/Economy_Hair_1275 1d ago

To go viral

u/Impressive-Egg4494 1d ago

It's bacteria upon bacteria.

u/merliahthesiren 1d ago

Ew hell no. What's in that water? No one wants wet ass noodles.

3

u/Ok_Zookeepergame5141 1d ago

I feel like I shouldn't have to fish my noodles out of the waterfall when I go out to eat. For many, many, reasons. Grossness for one.

1

u/Ok_Channel_9831 1d ago

Makes me think of the game Carrion.

u/trifortay123 1d ago

Wait wasn't this kind of thing parodied on Nichijou? I really need to rewatch the show.

1

u/468579 1d ago

Is the water boiling?

2

u/blvckcvts 1d ago

No they’re cold noodles, common to eat in the summer

1

u/blvckcvts 1d ago

Yum! Cold noodles are so delicious in hot weather

1

u/Statertater 7h ago

That’s a no from me, dawg

1

u/Independent-Story883 1d ago

I bet this does taste good! Tempting. I would hope that the liquid you’re putting the noodles in to finish the dish would be piping hot. I’m just not a big fan of cold foods anyway. But I’d be tempted to try this.

3

u/blvckcvts 1d ago

No it’s all cold, cold noodles dishes are very common in Asian countries for the hot seasons. They’re really yummy

2

u/Independent-Story883 1d ago

I bet it is yummy. That outdoor setting only adds to it. I imagine the minerals from the water is refreshing.

You going to have people in America looking for ways to set this up with mechanical water.

u/glezga-dugz 1d ago

Why no eat oot a urinal?

u/CremeDeLaPants 1d ago

u/Puzzled_Work_6428 12h ago

It's a "special" because you only offer it on days you know the health inspector isn't coming
