There are many unique museums in Japan. Among them, the Japanese Instant Noodles Museum that I will introduce to you today is one of the more popular museums, and it has also aroused everyone’s curiosity. Is there a museum for instant noodles too?
What kind of museum is it specifically? Let’s take a look at it with you!

There are also a variety of instant noodles sample display windows, which are dazzling.
There are also various specific limited editions, Japan-exclusive versions, etc. In short, no matter what generation you are from, you can find the instant noodles in your memory here.
Make a unique instant noodle with your own hands, not only as a souvenir, but also for eating! The second floor of the museum is a cup noodle making workshop. It has two parts. One side is a noodle making workshop that requires group reservation. It is usually used by local Japanese schools for students to experience.
; The other side is a place for visitors to experience exclusive cup noodles.
The steps to make cup noodles are as follows: 1. Buy a cup from the vending machine for 300 yen, then clean your hands and you can start working.
2. Improvise and leave your favorite pictures. There are about 10 tables here, with 5-6 people sitting around each table. Colorful pens are provided on the table.
Both adults and children hold their own cups and use their imagination and creativity to improvise.
Children will ask their parents what to draw. Mom said, then draw the puppy that accompanies you every day! The students will refer to each other’s designs and may end up drawing their favorite superhero.
The lovers whispered, perhaps writing love words to each other.
What about us? Let’s each draw our own pictures! 3. Assemble the dough cakes and ingredients. We took the painted cups and walked to the back of the line to start the dough filling process. There are 4 processes in one go, which are clearly visible through the glass.
.
Step 1: The staff will sterilize the newly contaminated cup. Step 1: Disinfect the cup. Step 2: Put in the noodles. You need to turn the machine yourself and put the noodles into the cup. Step 2: Put in the noodles.
Step 3: Choose the sauces and ingredients in the ingredients section. Since there is no Chinese language, everyone can only choose the 4 ingredients they like based on their feelings and cognition.
I chose spicy and added duck slices, eggs, luncheon meat and corn, which is my ideal instant noodle flavor.
Step 4: The last step is to seal the lid, seal it with plastic wrap, put it into the machine to vacuum, and it’s done! Tips: The validity period of instant noodles is 1 month. Remember to write the production date on the cup to avoid forgetting to eat it after the expiration date.
I ate the noodles as soon as I got home, then washed the cup and framed it as a forever souvenir.
Of course you can also choose not to eat it.
4. When packing, each person will get a sealed protective bag, and then follow the graphic instructions on the operating table to vacuum the cup noodles.
We who are illiterate in Japan can only look at pictures and imitate, but we can’t find the inflation port for a while. Tips: This bag cannot be boarded on the plane after it is inflated. Remember to deflate it before boarding the plane. The operation is also very simple. Just insert a bag through the entrance and exit.
A straw is enough, and the protective bag can be reused after deflating, which is really thoughtful.
Take the escalator up to the third floor of the museum, which is also the highest floor. You will see a children's playground on the left, specially designed for parents with children. Of course, there is an additional fee.
On the right is the food court, which is decorated like a food stall and matches the image of instant noodles.
There are food kiosks from Japan, China, South Korea, India, the United States, Italy and other countries in the square. If you are tired or hungry after visiting, you can satisfy your needs here.
But since we arrived late, the food court was closed immediately, and the museum was about to close its business. We will leave a regret here and eat again next time! Tips: The business hours are 11:00-17
:00, finally remember to recycle the tableware yourself! Every museum will always have a small souvenir shop at the exit, and this is no exception.
