The Morita-Ya book nook recreates a small Japanese ramen shop glowing in the evening. Behind the blue noren curtain, a cat chef in a kimono serves a steaming bowl of noodles.

This DIY book nook kit assembles without glue. A nice gift for anyone who loves Japan and its neighborhood restaurants.

Who is the Morita-Ya Ramen Shop made for?

The Morita-Ya book nook is made for people who love Japanese culture, ramen and miniature art. Rated Medium with 240 pieces and around four hours of build time, it stays within reach of careful beginners and makes a nice project to share with family.

Once built, it decorates a bookshelf, a desk or a bedroom, and its colors go well with natural wood, beige, blue and red.

With its touch-controlled LEDs, it can also serve as a small night light in the evening.

Book nook details

The shop front reads like a real Japanese street corner. A red paper lantern hangs at the edge of the gray tiled roof, above a frieze of family-crest medallions. By the entrance, a carved wooden sign and a menu board list the dishes of the day, next to a poster selling chashu ramen for 980 yen. On the counter, a teapot and soy sauce bottles wait between the wooden stools, while a tabby cat naps on one of them. The Open plaque hangs by the door, and shelves of bowls and a little carved wooden globe fill the back alcove.

FAQs about our Book Nooks

What's included in my miniature decor pack?

Your DIY Book nook Kit includes everything you need to get started: a detailed instruction guide, cutting tools, crafting papers, solid plywood sheets, and LED lights. Due to shipping restrictions, we can't include glue and batteries with your order.

Can I get replacement pieces if something breaks or is missing?

If you have a missing or broken piece, you can contact us and we'll send you a replacement.
Please note that the replacement process may take some time since we're not a large company and we need to individually manufacture missing pieces, which can take a few weeks. But our team will be there to provide you with all the necessary information via email.

Is it too complicated for younger children to assemble?

The recommended age is simply a guideline, many children ages 6 to 8 have successfully built their book nooks and miniature dollhouses on their own, simply by following the instructions provided in the boxes. If your child is used to building with Legos, they'll manage without too much difficulty.
