Ichiraku Ramen Shop (Qiji K20509)

About this set

This is KEEPPLEY's Ichiraku Ramen Shop (K20509) from the Naruto line, an anime scene set rated 2/5 for difficulty, so it's a light build. The finished model is the ramen shop building with a blue roof, a ramen sign hanging at the front, a white water tank on the side and a utility pole; the palette stays in blue, brown, white and orange, which matches how the little shop looks in the anime. The box carries the KEEPPLEY name and the NARUTO Shippuden mark, and the officially licensed Ichiraku shop is the main selling point here. Naruto and Kakashi minifigures are included, and placing them in front of the shop makes the scene read better. For build order, put together the walls and blue roof first, then the white tank and pole, and leave the figures and sign for last so you have room to work while the roof goes on. Most of the parts are standard bricks, so the clutch is predictable and beginners won't get stuck. It suits Naruto fans, people who like small shop scenes, and anyone after a low-difficulty starter set.
