Sayonara and thanks for reading!
Well, we’ve had a fun run here at Tokyo Bounce, but our company has decided to head in a different direction with our social media efforts. Unfortunately, this means that we won’t be posting any more updates to this blog. We’re going to miss sharing our take our Tokyo life and our favorite new Japanese products, that’s for sure!
Thanks so much for reading,
Andrea, Fernando, “Yamada” and the rest of the Tokyo Bounce team

Cup Noodles turn 40, release special robot noodle timer
If you’re a Cup Noodle fan, mark your calendar for September 18th. Starting from then, you’ll have the opportunity to win something utterly fabulous from your favorite snack maker.
Ok, right now it doesn’t look so cool. But press a button and…
Robot noodle timer!
Cup Noodles need to soak in hot water for 3 minutes, so that’s the length of time this little guy will mark out for you. In the meantime, he’ll entertain with little movements as well as quips about eating and factoids about Cup Noodles.
You can’t buy the robot noodle timer unfortunately. You’ll need to collect stickers off of specially marked noodle packs and then mail them in for your chance to win. With only 10,000 units available, competition may be tight so buy early and buy often.
