Cup Noodles Museum

The Cup Noodles Museum (安藤百福発明記念館, Ando Momofuku Hatsumei Kinenkan), located in Yokohama’s vibrant Minato Mirai District, is a lively and interactive attraction that tells the fascinating story of instant ramen. Founded by Nissin Food, the museum honors the legacy of Momofuku Ando, who invented instant noodles in 1958. The museum features unique exhibits, including a replica of the original shed where Ando first created his invention, and a detailed timeline highlighting the global evolution of instant noodles. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a small collection of modern art pieces, showcasing the creativity and innovation that Nissin continues to embody.

What sets the Cup Noodles Museum apart are its engaging hands-on activities, making it a must-see for visitors of all ages. At the My Cupnoodles Factory, guests can design and create their own personalized instant ramen (500 yen), while the Chicken Ramen Factory offers a workshop where visitors can learn to make ramen from scratch (1000 yen). Families with children will enjoy the Cupnoodles Park playground, which offers an interactive and fun experience. The Noodles Bazaar food court also provides a unique cultural experience, allowing visitors to sample noodle dishes from across Asia, all within an atmospheric night market setting.
