About ramenZen
ramenZen is a 3-minute timer for your ramen, with a zen-like buzzer.
It's designed to give you a moment of peace and focus while you wait for your noodles to be perfectly cooked. The buzzer sound is inspired by the JR East Osaki Station departure melody, known for its simple, calming tone.
The mechanism behind ramenZen
The mechanism behind ramenZen is said to have originated from the experience of Japanese haiku poet Matsuo Basho, who, while listening to the loud chirping of cicadas, entered a state of tranquility, resulting in a brain cleansing effect that led to the creation of his famous haiku, "The silence of the cicadas seeping into the rocks." (In my opinion, the effect is remarkable. Please give it a try while your cup noodles are being prepared!)
What's ramenZen
This timer allows you to clear your mind while you wait three minutes after pouring hot water into your instant noodles.
How to use ramenZen
It's easy to use: just adjust the volume percentage and press Start.
You will hear the sound of water boiling in a kettle, so by concentrating and listening to that sound, you can clear your mind!
When you want to use it again, press the Reset button to reset the timer to 0 and you will be able to press the Start button again.
