After World War II, Japan was seriously short of food. Once in a while, Ando runs a Lamian Noodles stall and sees people in shabby clothes standing in a long queue of twenty or thirty meters against the cold wind. This aroused his great interest in Lamian Noodles.

At that time, Ando ran a small food workshop, and he often pondered how to do business well. Faced with this situation, he is sensitive to the huge business opportunities in public demand. So, he resolutely decided to develop "instant noodles".

1958 In the spring, Tadao Ando built a humble hut of 10 square meter in his backyard, found an old noodle maker, and then bought 18 kg of flour, cooking oil, etc. , and immersed in the development of instant noodles. The instant noodles envisioned by Ando are instant noodles that can be eaten immediately as long as hot water is added. He set five goals: delicious, never tired of eating; Good preservation performance; Simple, no need to cook; Cheap price; Safety and health. He gets up at 5 o'clock every morning, immediately gets into the hut and studies until one or two in the middle of the night. This kind of day lasted for a whole year without a day off.
