Manchester is well served when it comes to trendy ramen spots, however a new restaurant specialising in the popular Japanese noodle dish is embracing the 'food porn' trend with a cheeky launch campaign.
Aptly named 'Send Noods', the top-secret new ramen shop is about to open in Manchester and has been posting 'tongue-in-cheek' images of its noodles on fan-based subscription platform, OnlyFans ahead of the launch. The ramen shop, which will be serving up ramen, noodles and other 'cheeky' Japanese small plates, has posted a range of videos to the site, with captions ranging from 'pour noods on me' to 'I want your noods'.
They've also shared images of its team slurping up noodles on Instagram and are inviting Manchester ramen fans to follow them across their social media planforms, where they will reveal the location of their new site, which is based somewhere in the city. The first 50 people to follow their Instagram account will win a Send Noods T-Shirt and have the new ramen shop's location shared with them.

A Send Noods insider told the Manchester Evening News: "We’ve long been following the food porn trend and thought what better way to start to make some noise than on OnlyFans.
“It’s a bit of fun and intended to be a bit cheeky, a bit naughty. We’re excited to finally announce our site address - it will be the first of many - and to welcome fans to try some really great Ramen."
Although the full menu hasn't been revealed - unlike its noods - diners have been told to expect ramen, noodles and other small plates. An opening date has also not yet been confirmed, but those interested are encouraged to keep a close eye on their social media

New Order have backed the #LetTheMusicMove campaign against proposed changes to US visa rules that would impact touring artists.Last month saw the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announce that it was planning to raise touring visa fees for foreign acts by more than 250 per cent.The DHS said in its proposal that applications for a P visa, which is for acts arriving in the states to perform temporarily, would increase from the current rate of $460 (£375.23) to $1,615 (£1,317). Meanwhile, the longer-term O work visa would jump from $460 (£375.23) to $1,655 (£1,349).Numerous musicians have since spoken out against the plans, saying that it would be “a huge hardship to pay such high visa fees”.
