Cup Noodles Museum Osaka Ikeda

A fun place to visit. Make your own special flavour of cup noodles. Cost is only 500yen. I would have thought there'd be an eating area where you could buy and eat a cup of noodles but there isn't. No need to buy tickets in advance. The place was pretty busy but that was because they closed half of the noodles making part to film an advert or something. As soon as that was completed its wasn't super busy. For lunch go to Tako Suke for a cold drink and great takoyaki. The owner there is fantastic, they are near the station when walking back from the cup noodle museum.

We love our experience here. The staff always treat us with so much warmth. We started off with making our own cup noodles. It was 500 yen each,you can buy up to 3 cups per person. You will be ushered to start your drawing and then pick your desired ingredients and soup flavours. After they will pack it up,and you vacuumed it into your own take away bag. Super cute. I think we got really lucky, the staff gave us an opportunity to do the chicken ramen experience.(1000 yen per pax) The whole duration took 70 mins but it was the best experience. Heard from the staff that spots are limited and need prior reservations. When enter the room in level 2, you get to change to apron and a cute chick bandana. The staff was so patient and lovely in guiding us step by step on how to make the ramen. If you have young children, this will be a very educational and fun experience for the little ones. 🩷 I truly enjoy my time.

For 500 💴 (a piece) you can make up to 4 customized Cup O' Noodles. Walk-ins ok. Reservations are required & recommended in advance to enter the museum. Even without entry to the above, you can see a history of the company, past products, and do a fun photo op with the a cardboard cutout of the chicken mascot, that you can stick your face through.

Our teenage kids (13 and 14) both had fun decorating their noodles! We are cup noodles people and this experience was enjoyable for us as a family. No need for reservations. Just go in and register and pay for the cup you will be decorating (500yen per cup). For the noodle making though, it needs advance reservations and at this time (Oct 30), the next available slots are December already! Place is not that big so we finished in an hour. It was quite organized and instructions are also written. There were staff too to guide you for the next step. After decorating, you’ll line up to choose your ingredients and soup base. There were not many people though there was a school kindergarten students who were having their trip hete which was so cute. There is also a room where you can sit and watch a video. Unfortunately, the video is in japanese so we couldnt quite understand. After the noodle making, there is an exhibit outside which also do not have english. There is however an audio guide you can listen to when you scan the qr code. Noodles has expiration date of 1 month. What a unique experience of decorating your own cup noodles. I am sure the kids would love doing it.

A wonderful blast from the past! Got to customise my own cup noodle that came with choice of dried ingredients and a soup base. Paid for the ramen-making workshop too which was quite interesting. Got to make the noodles from scratch. Great hands-on activity for children. It would be good to get the tickets first upon arrival at the museum.
