Five Star Gift Ideas

Since your wife is a fan of ramen noodles, it would be a great idea to make a personalized ramen kit for her birthday. Here are some items you could include in the kit:

1. Ramen Bowl: A traditional Japanese ramen bowl is different from a regular bowl; it has high sides and is larger in size. You can find a ceramic or melamine ramen bowl online or at a Japanese store.

2. Chopsticks: Chopsticks are an essential accessory for eating ramen. You can find chopsticks made of bamboo or a wide variety of materials with intricate designs at Asian stores.

3. Ramen Recipe Book: There are plenty of ramen recipe books available that can help your wife take her ramen noodles to the next level. Some popular options include “Simply Ramen” by Amy Kimoto-Kahn and “Ramen Otaku: Mastering Ramen at Home” by Sarah Gavigan.

4. Ramen Ingredients: While instant ramen is easy to make, it is not very flavorful or nutritious. Why not add some authentic ingredients to your wife’s ramen kit? You could include dried shiitake mushrooms, seaweed, black garlic oil, vegetable broth, and sesame seeds. She could also enjoy adding fresh ingredients to her bowl like bok choy, bean sprouts, and sliced pork.

5. Soup Spoons: A soup spoon is another crucial accessory for eating ramen. Japanese soup spoons are shallow and pointed, designed to scoop up broth with the noodles.

6. Ramen Toppings: Aside from the ingredients, you could also add some toppings that will make the ramen taste better. You could include sliced green onions, pickled ginger, and toasted sesame seeds.

7. Japanese Tea: Green tea or matcha is a great idea to include in the kit. Your wife can enjoy a nice hot brew of green tea or matcha alongside her ramen.

8. Ramen Delivery Kit: Lastly, you could also consider ordering a ramen delivery kit in case your wife wants to avoid cooking. Many ramen delivery kits come with everything needed for a delicious meal, including broth, noodles, and toppings.

Preparing a personalized ramen kit for your wife's birthday will show how thoughtful and attentive you are to her interests. She will appreciate the effort put into creating the kit, and enjoy the chance to try new recipes and ingredients.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
