• Considering the cold weather, we couldn't think of any better way to spend the day than with a hot bowl of noodles at the Instant Ramen Museum.
  • For 300 yen (roughly £2), you could design your own noodle pot, pick all the ingredients and watch as it made it's way through the line.
  • We started out by doodling on our pots. Lots of visitors drew the little chicken mascot on their pots and it was fun peeking at everyone else's deigns.
  • Our pots then entered the line and we turned a wheel to tip the noodles in to them.
  • Next up, we got to pick our ingredients. I choose sweet corn, egg, prawns and fish paste coins with the little chicken on.
  • A film lid was then stamped on to the pot.
  • Finally the pots were shrink wrapped before being dispensed at the other side and we got cute little bags to carry them in which inflated to protect them.
  • We were super hungry by the time they were ready so we headed down to the canteen where there were vending machines filled with dozens of ramen pots.
  • The rest of the museum told the story of how instant ramen was invented and there was a theta her inside a gigantic ramen pot.
