This box design is different from other boxes we have at Japan Crate mostly because of its peculiar size. It was designed in a way that would hold both cup and block instant noodles safely for shipping. It features the logo and the noodle pattern I designed for the brand. Ike, the brand mascot, is also featured in the crate posing with some Japanese cooking words. We wanted to make Umai Crate more than just a box of noodles you get in the mail. It really needed to be an experience for subscribers and encouraged their culinary curiosities. Each crate comes with an information booklet that explained the items you receive, instructions, and a section that featured pictures submitted by subscribers. I suggested adding a recipe card that features a couple of the items included in that month's crate. Since it was my suggestion, I was held responsible for developing these recipes every month, of course! Yep, I'm also a part time chef!
