Dedicated to ramen noodle cups, the museum showcases the mind-boggling number of instant ramen flavor variations that have come out over the years and a reproduction of the hut where Momofuku Ando first created them.

We visited last year, and we decided to visit again this year because of how fun it was. It's located near Ikeda station in Kansai (Osaka), though you'll need to take a private line to reach there (meaning it won't be covered under the Japan Rail pass). You'll also want to take the express train there as it's significantly faster. Once at Ikeda, it's a short walk to the museum. There'll be a lot of school children visiting as well. Entry is free, but you can rent an English audio guide if you want to watch and listen to the exhibits. There's an area where you can design your own Cup Noodle (each cup is about JPY300). Once you buy the number of cups you want, you get directed to seat at a table to design your own cup with the markers the provide. Once you're done with designing, you can proceed to make your Cup Noodle proper. First stop on the line is where the staff will help to load up the noodle, and you'll have to help with spinning the wheel. Next, you'll have to choose the soup base (Original, Chilli Tomato, Seafood or Curry), as well as up to 4 ingredients to go along with it (such as green onion, prawn, etc). Last, they'll heat wrap the cup with plastic after sealing the lid. Last of all, you can put the Cup Noodle in a bag and inflate it to keep it safe, though you won't be able to bring it on the flight if you do so. However, if you plan to give it as a give, feel free to take the bag and corresponding string without inflating it!
