Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama

The Cup Noodles Museum in Yokohama's Minato Mirai district celebrates Momofuku Ando, who invented instant ramen in 1958 and the cup noodle in 1971. The main draw is the My Cup Noodles Factory, where you design your own cup, choose from dozens of soup bases and toppings, and watch it get vacuum-sealed on a miniature production line. A recreation of Ando's backyard workshop shed shows where it all began, and an enormous wall displays every instant noodle product ever released. There is also an interactive exhibit where you shrink to noodle size inside a virtual factory. Book the Cup Noodles Factory slot online before you go, especially on weekends.
