The modern Cupnoodles Museum (yes, the spelling is correct) opened in 2011 and is dedicated to the invention of instant ramen in a garden shed by Momofuku Ando (1910-2007) in Ikeda, Osaka in 1958 and the subsequent massive worldwide popularity of "cup ramen".
There's lots for visitors to see and do at the Cupnoodles Museum. Have a go at making Chicken Ramen (Ando's first innovation) from scratch or make your own ramen from 5,460 flavor combinations.
The Instant Noodles History Cube is a panel display with over 3,000 noodle product packages on show. You can also see a recreation of Ando's tiny garden shed where he worked on his inventions and a CG animated film on the history of instant noodles.
There are lots of opportunities too for sampling noodles in the Noodles Bazaar and the My Cup Noodles Factory.
