Morita Ramen Shop DIY Miniature House Kit 8 in by Wizardi F07M51-90-CWGC205

A timber Japanese ramen shop under a tiled roof and a Morita-ya sign: red paper lanterns and a blue ramen noren curtain hang over the sliding window, steaming bowls of noodles, sauce bottles and sake jars line the counter, shelves hold packets, a vintage TV and lucky charms, posters cover the side wall, and a ginger cat naps beside two stools on the stone step.

A little crafter's folklore: ramen chefs say the broth gets better the longer the shop stays open, and miniaturists like to leave the cat asleep by the door.

Why this kit: if you love Japanese food and street life, this little ramen shop is packed with authentic tiny details, glowing under its red lanterns.

In the box: pre-cut wooden pieces for the shopfront, opening door and interior, printed paper details, miniature furniture and tiny accessories, an LED light with a touch switch and a hidden battery case, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of a little bookshelf shop series that stands among your books, each with an opening door that keeps the dust out: try it with The Greens' Grocery or Uncle Joe's Pizzeria. Build tip: build the inner shelves and back room first, stock them with the tiny props before closing the shopfront, and fit the touch-switch light last.

Size: 15.5 x 16 x 20.9 cm (6.1 x 6.3 x 8.2 in). A charming shelf display that sits neatly beside your books, and a sweet gift. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
