CupNoodles Museum Yokohama
カップヌードルミュージアム 横浜
A museum honoring Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant noodles, where you can design your own cup and choose soup and toppings for a personal CupNoodles.
The CupNoodles Museum opened in 2011. It tells the story of Momofuku Ando, founder of Nissin, who invented instant chicken ramen and the cup noodle. Display walls show more than 3,000 instant noodle packages from different eras. The most popular activity is 'My CupNoodles Factory': draw a design on a blank cup, choose one soup base and four toppings, then have it sealed on the spot to take home (about 500 yen per cup). The 'Chicken Ramen Factory' lets you make noodles by hand, starting from kneading the dough, and it requires advance online booking. Admission is about 500 yen. The museum is closed on Tuesdays. Weekends are crowded, so arrive at opening time and queue for the DIY cup first.
