Cup Noodles Museum

The Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama (安藤百福発明記念館) is a whimsical, interactive tribute to the world’s most famous convenience food. Founded by Nissin Foods, the museum honors Momofuku Ando, the visionary who invented instant ramen in 1958 and the revolutionary Cup Noodle in 1971. Far from a dry corporate gallery, the space is designed to spark “creative thinking” through engaging, hands-on attractions that appeal to both children and nostalgic adults.

The undeniable highlight is the My CUPNOODLES Factory, where you can design your own cup and select a custom combination of soup flavors and toppings from thousands of possibilities—perfect for a one-of-a-kind souvenir. For active youngsters, the CUPNOODLES Park offers an indoor playground where kids “become” noodles, navigating a simulated manufacturing process from kneading to shipping. On the top floor, the Noodles Bazaar serves a variety of noodle dishes from across the globe in a setting reminiscent of a vibrant Asian night market. It is a playful, high-energy reminder that even a simple idea, born in a backyard shed, can change global food culture.
