The Zen of Ramyun is a guided breathing meditation inspired by the process of making cup ramyun. The convenience store is the go-to place for a quick and convenient meal, and cup ramyun is a well-enjoyed convenience food. In Korea, cup ramyun is typically had on a rough day - when you don’t have the time to have a full meal or when you need a boost after an all-nighter. As you slurp on the convenient noodles, the heat of the cup noodles engulfs your face and the sensation of the hot and spicy broth spreads through your body as a rejuvenating experience. What goes unnoticed is the beauty and calm in the ritual-like steps of cup ramyun - from the buying, opening, making to the disposing. A soothing and healing experience. The Zen of Ramyun highlights the beauty of this experience with the intriguing blend of ramyun and meditation. Following mini meditation references and combining soothing visuals and animations, The Zen of Ramyun brings a de-stressing journey to everyone's daily life.
