“To pay homage to the notorious instant noodles industry, Japanese food company Nissin Foods has opened a new museum in Yokohama, near Tokyo. Celebrating 40 years since the creation of the first snack, the museum displays the history of the noodle, taking visitors on a journey from its invention to its cultural influence within Japan and the rest of the world. Up to 10,000sq m covers the museum grounds with visitors given the chance to create their own instant recipe from thousands of combinations at the My Cup Noodle Factory. Inside, visitors can get a taste of the restaurants that serve a variety of noodles. During the opening of the museum, 500 people queued up to enter, including the former Japanese premier, Junichiro Koizumi.” w/ photos
