The Ramen Shed

Just when you thought there was a museum for everything, along comes another.

The Instant Ramen Museum is located in Ikeda City, Osaka, Japan. Ikeda City is the birthplace of one of Asia's most popular foods - instant noodles. In 1958, the world's first instant noodle product, Chicken Ramen, famous for its TV commercial, originated in a Research Shed in Ikeda City, in the yard of the house of Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant noodles and the founder of Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd.

Dedicated to his achievements, the Instant Ramen Museum was established in 1999 to introduce the history of instant noodles and convey the significance of innovation and discovery in the stages of invention.

The musuem covers the creation of instant noodles, its subsequent development and its manufacturing methods, but also you can create your own cup noodle with soup and ingredients of your choice at My Cup Noodle Factory and make Chicken Ramen by hand at the Handmade Chicken Ramen Hands-On Workshop.
