About this Attraction
The Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama offers a unique and interactive experience celebrating the invention of instant noodles, one of the world’s most popular quick meals. Located in Yokohama’s Minato Mirai district, this museum was opened by Nissin Foods, whose founder, Momofuku Ando, invented instant noodles in 1958. The museum showcases his groundbreaking creation through informative exhibits, hands-on activities, and entertaining displays, making it a fun destination for visitors of all ages.
One of the museum's highlights is a short film that tells the inspiring story of how instant noodles were developed to provide affordable and convenient food to people worldwide. Visitors can also explore a fascinating timeline displaying hundreds of instant noodle products from different countries, including space ramen, which Nissin developed for astronauts.
The most popular attraction is the My Cup Noodles Factory workshop, where guests can create customised cup noodles by selecting soup flavours and toppings to design a unique, personalised cup. For younger visitors, the museum includes a creative playground that simulates the noodle-making process in a fun, kid-friendly way.
Additionally, the Noodles Bazaar replicates a vibrant Asian night market, where visitors can taste various noodle dishes worldwide, offering a global culinary experience. Easily accessible from central Yokohama and Tokyo, the Cup Noodles Museum combines education, creativity, and entertainment, making it a must-visit attraction for food lovers and families.
