Cup Noodles Museum Osaka Ikeda: My Cup Noodles
Explore how instant noodles became a global food, then design your own cup and flavour combination. Your souvenir is something you can eventually eat, as well as a reminder of the invention story.
カップヌードルミュージアム 大阪池田 / CUPNOODLES MUSEUM OSAKA IKEDA
What you will do
Decorate a cup, select one of four soups and four of twelve toppings, then see how the noodles are fitted and the cup sealed. Take the finished product home and explore exhibits on the original development shed and the spread of instant-noodle packaging.
Time: Allow about 45 minutes for the activity, plus any wait for your ticketed time and gallery viewing.
