You can eat Ramen in can sold in a vending machine in Akihabara, following canned Oden. It comes with a small fork so you can eat it right there on the street. It should taste good, as it's produced by one of the best ramen restaurant in Tokyo, Musashi.
Don't laugh that it's a Japanese strange street food. The idea originally came from giving out such canned food for the people who suffered in the natural disasters such as earthquake. Some areas are already stocking canned Oden for emergency food. Very smart.
I've heard that volunteers who went to support when Niigata was hit by a big earthquake a couple of years ago that they had to waste so much food because these food won't last over days and weeks and needs constant cooking with manpower. With canned food, you don't need anything (it's a pull top can; you don't need an opener) but can eat it right there.
This canned Ramen is so popular you can't buy it even you wait on line. What a huge hit for vending machine canned food.
