Afraid of being seen alone on the streets on Singles' Day? Japan’s Ichiran Ramen offers "flavor concentration seating" where you can enjoy your noodles solo in peace. With the year-end approaching, the Japanese official website has started selling this "isolation seat." Customers can assemble it at home and enjoy noodles in even greater comfort, with some netizens saying it makes them "feel even more solitary."

Ichiran Ramen is not only a must-try for Taiwanese visitors to Japan but also the perfect choice for solo dining. The shop features "flavor concentration seating," where customers never have to face anyone throughout the meal. This seemingly "isolated" dining setup has become one of its biggest draws, allowing people to enjoy their noodles in complete comfort.

Now, starting in November, Ichiran Ramen’s official Japanese website is selling this "isolation seat." In addition to ramen gift sets, they are exclusively offering a portable single-person seat, dubbed "the best gift from Ichiran." It comes with a cardboard material kit and assembly instructions, so you can build your own "isolation seat" at home. Netizens have commented, "It feels even lonelier — and that just hits the spot."
