PM Modi's moonstone ramen set blends Indian artistry, Japanese tradition
On August 30, 2025, Prime Minister Modi gave Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba a ramen bowl set crafted from moonstone and silver chopsticks.
The gift blends Indian artistry with Japanese dining traditions—think big moonstone donburi bowl, four smaller bowls, and a marble base decorated with Rajasthan's intricate Parchin Kari inlay work.
