a place to enjoy making your own customizable cup noodle(¥500). a fun indoor experience for a rainy day. touring the museum is free. highly recommend for children and adults.

It is worth going here to gain knowledge. The museum is located in Ikeda City, Japan. There are models, display boards, and real objects in the museum to introduce the development history of different instant noodles and cup noodles in the world. There are also a large number of instant noodles hanging on the walls of the museum, a giant cup noodle internal structure model, the world's first cup noodle vending machine and other information to deepen visitors' understanding of instant noodles. In order to let visitors know more about instant noodles, the memorial hall has launched the "Cup Noodle Making Process Experience Hall" to allow people to participate in the making of cup noodles and take the "only one" cup noodles home. Interested visitors pay 300 yuan per time, first receive the ingredients for making, and after manual creativity, make a pack of chicken noodle soup as a souvenir.

Go south from the east exit of Ikeda Station and walk 200 to 300 minutes. It is a bit far from Namba Station, which takes 40 to 50 minutes. You need to transfer from Midosuji Line to Hankyu Line at Umeda. The first floor is an exhibition on the history of the invention of instant noodles. There are all kinds of instant noodle buckets on the whole wall. People with trypophobia will be sad.

I've been to Osaka several times, and I've basically stayed in izakayas. Except for big attractions like Universal Studios, I've basically never been to other places because it's too much trouble. I decided to go around this time. I found it using Baidu navigation, and it was very accurate. There were a lot of people, and there were instant noodles from different periods, flavors, and packaging. You can also choose three flavors to DIY when you go in. It costs 1,000 yen. Finally, I vacuum-packed it myself.

After the exhibition, there is a screening room where you can sit down and watch the video of Ando Momofuku developing instant noodles. It is in Japanese without subtitles, so just watch the video. Go upstairs to the DIY workshop. Queue up to get the bowl for the cup noodles, then sit down and slowly design it. After designing, queue up to pack the noodles, add the ingredients and seal them. Your own instant noodles are born. The instant noodles are valid for one month, so remember to eat them as soon as possible.

Here is a reminder. If you plan to go to the Instant Noodles Museum, it is recommended to arrive at the store before 3 pm, because you can make instant noodles by yourself before 3 pm. The noodles are made like this. After 3 pm, no cups will be issued, and you can't make them. You can't enter the store after 4 pm. There are not many stores. There is a souvenir shop at the entrance, where you can buy some souvenirs. Then there is an introduction to the origin of instant noodles.

The location of the Instant Noodles Museum on Google Maps was inaccurate, so we walked around several streets several times. Because the area nearby was all residential, there was almost no one to ask for directions on the street during working hours. Finally, the policeman at the entrance of the museum saw us with backpacks and cameras, dressed like tourists, and waved to let us in.
