What’s got me excited about the cup noodles museum is uh going back to my college days I have a great and fun memory of cup noodles powering me through my studies and so being able to go into this cup of noodles Museum and see the history behind what goes into
Making the cup of noodles getting to make our own little combination of our own flavors got me super excited feel like a kid in the candy shop except the candy shop is one cup Ramen let’s go All right guys here we are we made it this is the cup of noodles Museum and right behind me is the awesome big kind of big building that um houses the museum can’t wait to go inside and check it out so let’s go in right now and see what’s
Inside this is is definitely a place you have to go and check out the cost of Entry is even that expensive we’re looking at 500 yen for admission for the cuper noodle uh make your own copper noodle uh session it only cost 500 yen so maximum you’re going to spend is
1,000 yen can’t wait to build my own custom cup noodle and take it home with me so very excited this building is amazing it’s spacious it’s got the largest like floor to ceiling height out of any Lobby building I’ve ever been to so that’s pretty cool um super excited
My session starts at 11: which is 15 minutes from now so when you get here you can buy a ticket for your session but if you’re not going to arrive at the time event best to come a little bit earlier than when you plan to start your
Session they do sessions in half an hour blocks and you can come in line up get a ticket for your session and there’s wait in the lobby area which is actually a very awesome place for waiting like it is a very cool Lobby this place also
Pays homage to the father of one the one and only cup noodle which is m foco Andor and he was the inspiration behind what is now my favorite Ramen instant noodle which is the cup noodle and his contributions to the science of making instant Ramen including the technique of
Flash frying is impressive and some of the things you do see inside scatter throughout this Museum uh first things first though uh my ticket at 11 also has the build your own Ramen at 11 so we’re going to go directly to the floor where the Builder Ramen is and start building
Our uh instant Ramen kit you pick a base flavor and a cup you draw the cup um put your own designs on it I’m a terrible uh designer/ dra so you’re going to see some pretty awful little scribbles on my one but if you’re creative you can make
It look as cool as you want it’s your personal brand of flavor of um Ramen flavor so it’s a really cool souen also to take home with you we’re always buying and pre-made but we never actually get the chance to make one so this is going to be super exciting I
Think I might go for a ba flavor maybe so first of all you have to climb up this huge stairway that takes you up to the entry all right we’re booked in for 11:00 which is pretty much the same time as our entry so I’m going to be rushing
Straight up to the Noodle Factory let’s go here’s the line it’s so busy in here it’s so busy everyone’s in here doing their build a build my cup noodle session um I’m lining up for the 11 11:00 session that I booked got that little sign behind me that
Says to line up and wait here for my chance to join in on the noodle fun it’s a vending machine that’s going to give me me my cup then we go to sit on the tables and get to draw on those cups to put a 500 yen coin it looks
Like and now pops the cup the cup has a blank background so you can add your own customization and there a hand sanitization station oh it’s a misting effect nice so they give you a lid you can do more than one actually which is great so you can actually do more than
One which is pretty cool I might go back you get this blank cup noodle and you draw your designs on it uh however you want your own logo whatever and you can color in the cup noodles logo as well let’s give it a shot see how it [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Go okay now that I have my horribly drawn um noodles it’s time to fill it up with some broth some noodles and Toppings Uh so we decided to go Curry Choice four choices all right we’ll go with the uh he onion beef This so what happens is they put the foil on each seals For it’s now using heat shrinking to shrink the wp and it’s going to come out the other side sealed and ready to go there it is there it go okay the next part is pretty interesting too so once you have your poorly drawn or better drawn um custom
Ramen you put it in this little uh bag that they give you it’s ready to go for your travels and then you need to so you grab the pump that they give you stick the pump within here and then you start pumping I’m just going to move it around
A bit to make it a bit more pleasing to the eye do it like this I think all right now that it’s centered we’ll pump it the rest of it to seal it in its air tight Glory look at that how cool is that it’s like protected from the elements
Now what an awesome souvenir I think it may pumped it a bit too much though but I’m hoping it will deflate and there you have it your noodles are ready to go with you to another country you’ve got it in a sling ready to go one of the most
Exciting things I’ve done in a museum so 100% would recommend at the cup of noodles Museum just for this awesome exhibit where you get to create your own cup of noodles on level four of this building is a awesome kids playing area but also a very cool instant ramen restaurant so
It’s called noodles Bazaar there’s the man the myth legend himself the Ando and all The Inspirations for the different noodles across the world you got your yeah you can’t you can’t not recognize that that’s f oh laxas all those good noodles that all right so having a look at the noodles
Bazar it’s actually pretty interesting it’s got different little um areas for different types of ramen from different areas you’ve got your Tommy Young King noodles from Thailand which is very cool you’ve got uh I know this building if I’ve ever seen it it’s a Vietnamese building this
Is Fox Yep this is this is your Fae building where you can order your foe each each building has its own little vending machine uh that you have to pick uh one of oh the prices here are amazing so good 500 yen that’s amazing ah migang now this
Is this is the one right now this is this is definitely taking me back to my college day is back when I was surviving a migang and cup noodles oh wow I am definitely going to try that and the prices here are great you’ve got
The shaved ice cream as well so you can have shaved ice cream oh the laxar looks not bad either we got the lxa bar and a few more around the corner here which is pretty good so you got so many different ramens to choose from which is amazing and spaghetti spaghetti
Okay so I think I’ve already decided what mine are going to be um I’m definitely going to go with the migang ball and there’s still room for more I’m going to hit up that spaghetti as Well E Okay so the best thing about this place is um the serving sizes are small enough so you can sample all of them they’re cheap it’s only 500 yen which is equivalent to $5 Australian and um I’m going to try a few uh I’m for this migang here because I do love the migang
It takes me back to my early days of college um the first year when all I could do was afford the migang uh a very good ODed and tribute to instant R let’s go no young oh it’s so good after seeing a whole museum filled with noodles and making it
Own copper noodles be able to have any kind of noodle from around the World that’s so good it’s really hitting the spot it was a cold day today as well in Japan I’m here in January so it’s dead middle of winter noodles are the way to cure any kind of chills or C that you’re having oh this is probably the best mangs I
Had such a convenient little noodle restaurant so already everything about this place has had me one over but again I’m biased towards noodles like I said I have a fun relationship with noodles from my college days you can’t take my word for it you have
To come here and try for it try it yourself see how fun it is for you but hopefully this video has given you a bit of insight into what you can Expect and for the price of Entry which is only 500 yen the price of the doit yourself make your own one cup noodle for only 500 yen and this plate is only year and I’ve only spent $15 to enjoy myself in the best way possible and I think I’ll just
Round it up to 200 so I’ll get one more sample of um half serving of noodle from uh one of the other kiosks Here St I always seem to forget about spaghetti is like a type of uh Ramen as well it’s um pretty interesting so I was able to get the Americana spaghetti as well I watched them make it with an instant Ramen a Ramen automatic cooker so it came out pretty good it’s like
Almost perfectly El Dante uh right amount of sauce and cheese and has the the pasta taste m not bad I still would rather rather go for the Mig rang that the Mig rang was 10 out of 10 but yeah so far I spent only 2,000 yen in
This place I’m feeling full and inspired and a very cool part about this museum is the rooftop uh area for viewing the harbor um Port which is really cool good to get some fresh air as well can get pretty hot in there with all those noodles being Cooked all right guys that was it from from the instant cup noodle um Museum uh was awesome fun I do recommend this place if you’re in Oklahoma uh it was so cool to see all the different types of uh instant noodles from over the years
So definitely a great way to find a new form of respect and love for something that I used to power myself through college so this is a awesome awesome exhibit for any rahen lovers out there and being able to take home my own Ramen is super awesome it’s already protected
And inflated in a nice little protection bubble here so that’s coming home with me back to Australia thanks guys for watching if you like the video please give it a thumbs up and if you haven’t already subscribe to the channel and don’t forget to comment down below what
