Noodle stopper

Last updated

A noodle stopper is a type of figurine based on manga, anime, or even video game characters which is ostensibly meant to secure by gravity the lid for ramen containers such that they do not boil over. Due to their ornate designs, they are often displayed as ordinary figurines. [1] ( Stopper is a misnomer, as they are not inserted into the container.)
