Aside from showcasing the history of the cup noodle, the museum includes a “My Cup Noodle Factory” where you can make your own noodles, a kid’s playground, which takes them thought the manufacturing process as if they were a noodle, as well as an Asian Bazaar on the top floor where you can try different cup noodle from around Asia.
