Yokohama is not only known for its ramen museum. Somewhere in the Minato Mirai District is a museum dedicated solely to the kind of noodles that made ramen more accessible and easier to prepare for everyone.

Introducing the Cup Noodles Museum by the Nissin Food company. Being the creator of the very first instant ramen, Nissin had the idea of letting everyone experience what it is like to make an instant noodle of their own. There is also a visual timeline of all the instant noodle products all over the globe. There are also replicas of various items like the shed where the very first instant noodles came to being.
