About this experience

Ikeda, in Osaka, is where instant noodles were born, and this museum tells the story of the invention and the people behind it. Exhibits cover Chicken Ramen, the growth of instant noodles worldwide, and the thinking behind the Cup Noodles you know today. The favourite activity is My CUPNOODLES Factory, where you decorate your own cup, then pick one of four soups and four of twelve toppings. There are 5,460 flavour combinations, and you finish with a cup packaged as your own original. The museum is free to enter. My CUPNOODLES Factory is a separate paid activity (per cup). Your exact schedule is arranged through your enquiry.
