Real Japan in Osaka

The very best and only in Osaka has to be the Instant Noodle Museum. Of course the busy Dotonbori can't be missed and nor can the Kaiyukan acquarium particularly for families. Recently, the Kaiyukan produced its new affiliate called NIFURERU in the expo city. This surely is osaka's new attraction. 

ANDO Momofuku invented instant ramen

He was thinking about a decent food for all of us. Easy, tasty, inexpensive, and yet not bad junk food. The result was the instant noodle: chicken noodle was the first, followed by the Cup Noodle which makes millions of people happy and warm every day.

In Ikeda city, Osaka stands this instant ramen museum featuring what ANDO invented and how. This is a must place to go to. A bit away from the center of Osaka but people come because it's worth it. 

Go and make your own version of the Cup Noodle. You just need to buy a cup (300 yen) and that's it. You can make and bring back your cup noodles safely. Your cup noodle is packaged in a plastic bag filled with air. 

The facility is super clean. Yep, it's Japan.
