Cup noodle is one of the biggest Japanese inventions. In
Yokohama, a city very close by Tokyo, there is a Cup Noodle Museum.
The Cup Noodle Museum is located 10 minutes time of walk
from Minato Mirai Station.
I got curious about the museum, and when I was in Yokohama
for business trip, during my lunch break, I went to visit the Cup Noodle Museum.
It costs 500 yen for entry and extras payments are required for activities such
as making cup noodles or decorating cup noodles.
There are sections where you can see how inventors got their
ideas…

| Did you spot Creative? |
And also the history of instant noodles, a room full of
instant noodles from 1958, the first products until today…
A 10-minutes-short animation explaining all, the ideas, the
procedure, and so on…
A replica of the house where Momofuku Ando, created the
instant noodles.
It is a perfect place to go with children, and it is a perfect
place for adults who like cup noodles.
I re-embraced the idea of creative thinking while eating a
cup noodle.
There is a phrase that Momofuku Ando said, when he was about
founding and leading the Instant Food Industry Association:
”Rather than a lone cedar, it is better to nurture a whole
forest. No one has a monopoly on ideas. Everybody nurtures ideas.”
Cheers,
