I thought I came up with a relatively well thought out process on how to choose the perfect container, however when I called to order today, they told me that they are out of my bowl for another two weeks! Lesson learned! Order your shit early! Supplier Dude said they usually have that item in stock but some customer cleaned out their warehouse with one order and that he couldn't guarantee that he'll have my bowls in by the day that I need them.
Whaaa whaa whaa. Ok I'm over my hissy fit. The option that I'm left with is to buy from a retailer who sells Supplier Dude's products for a higher price or to choose another option. I think I will choose one of the other options. I initially wanted the black bowl because hiyashi chuka (cold ramen noodles) don't look as authentic in a rectangular container and black looks sleeker and nicer, especially since I'm using soy sauce in the dressing. Sign...but since this is no longer an option, I am going to go with "Dahn tarah daaaah," the rectangular black container!
We'll see how these containers go over with the customers. The Nihonjins will definitely raise an eyebrow at the rectangular containers but there's no looking back now.
