You can design your own cup noodle from 5,460 combinations of soup and ingredients.

The museum tells the story of the invention of instant ramen by Andō Momofuku, who in 1958 invented Chicken Ramen working alone in a shed in his garden, and in 1971 the Cup Noodle. At the ‘My Cup Noodles Factory’ you draw your own packaging by hand, choose from 4 soups and 12 ingredients (5,460 possible combinations) and seal your own unique cup noodle; at the ‘Chicken Ramen Factory’ you knead, roll out and fry your own pack of instant noodles by hand, from start to finish.

A themed museum dedicated to the invention of instant ramen and to Andō Momofuku (1910–2007), founder of Nissin Foods; opened in 2011 in the Minato Mirai area.
