I filmed myself preparing instant cup noodles from Nissin. The flavour I tried was the Sesame Oil Flavour and boy was it good!
I have always loved noodles from the Nissin Brand and below is some information I found on the internet about Nissin Foods:
OUR FOUNDER, MOMOFUKU ANDO
There is only one company that can rightfully claim the Pinnacle of Noodledom. Only one company whose founder, faced with a Japanese food shortage after WWII, invented instant ramen and sparked a 3-minute global revolution. Only one whose spirit of innovation continues to provide simple, nourishing delight to billions of people. Only one that has been loved around the world for more than 60 years. There is only one Nissin Foods.
NISSIN IN THE U.S.
On a trip to the U.S. in 1966, Mr. Ando noticed Americans curiously eating forkfuls of noodles out of cups, instead of using bowls and chopsticks. With that simple observation, the worldwide Cup Noodles® phenomenon was born. Shortly after, Nissin officially put down its roots in the U.S. In 1972, our Gardena, CA, plant started production of Top Ramen®—the first instant ramen manufactured and sold in the U.S. And ever since, Nissin Foods USA has launched a continuous stream of new and innovative products for hungry, noodle-loving Americans.
BE METICULOUS, YET BOLD.
Inventor, founder, dreamer, humanitarian, Momofuku Ando’s words have provided continual inspiration to Nissin employees around the world. As you explore the site, keep an eye out for some of his most inspiring quotes, and he may just do the same for you.
In 1958, our founder, Momofuku Ando, was inspired to create instant ramen to give people easy access to quality, convenient meals.Recalling the food shortages he witnessed in World War II, Ando had a vision. It’s about doing the right thing as a corporate citizen, and we proudly follow this tenet:
ANDO’S DREAM
“PEACE WILL COME TO THE WORLD WHEN PEOPLE HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.”
Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd. is a Japanese international food company that specializes in the production and sale of convenience food and instant noodles.
The company was established in Japan on September 1, 1948, by Taiwanese immigrant Go Pek-Hok (1910–2007), Japanese name Momofuku Ando (the creator of instant ramen in 1958) as Chuko Sosha (中交総社, Chuukou-sousha). Ten years later, the company introduced the first instant ramen noodle product, Chikin Ramen (Chicken Ramen). Soon thereafter, the company name was changed to Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd. (日清食品株式会社, Nisshin Shokuhin Kabushiki-gaisha). The company established a US subsidiary Nissin Foods in 1970 and, starting in 1972, sold instant ramen noodle products under the name Top Ramen. Instant noodles (1958) and Cup Noodles (1971) were both invented by Momofuku Ando.Nissin Foods has its headquarters in Yodogawa-ku, Osaka.
Recent years and expansion
The company moved to its current headquarters in 1977, when the construction of the building was completed.
In 2007, Myojo Foods Co., Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nissin Foods. On January 5, 2007, Nissin founder Momofuku Ando died at the age of 96.
In May 2011, Nissin announced a capital and business alliance with confectionery producer Frente Co., Ltd. In September 2011, the Cup Noodles museum opens in Yokohama, Japan exhibiting the full spectrum of the founder Momofuku Ando’s vision.
An agreement with Turkey’s largest consumer goods manufacturing group was reached in September 2013, resulting in the creation of Nissin Yildiz Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.
March 2014 saw the opening of The Wave, a new Japan-based R&D center, aimed at creating “a wave of the most advanced food technologies”. The building has been honored with the Good Design Award.
Worldwide sales of the Cup Noodles reached 40 billion servings in 2016; 70% of total sales were accumulated outside Japan.
