Whether you love them for their convenience or savor their diverse flavors, their popularity in Japan is undeniable. Now, imagine a museum dedicated entirely to these beloved noodles! Welcome to the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, a haven for instant noodle enthusiasts since 1994.
A Feast for the Senses: Exploring the Museum
Spanning 9,882 square feet, the museum’s exhibition hall chronicles the fascinating history of Cup Noodles, invented in 1958 and introduced to the U.S. in the 1970s.
