Nissin is the world's first instant ramen manufacturer.

It focuses on the history of instant ramen, the founder's mindset, and its first beginnings.

From educational content to simple pleasure.
I hope you spend a day of your trip to Japan usefully!

Accessibility: Approximately 40 to 50 minutes one way by train from downtown Osaka

1) Nissin Cup Noodle Factory My Cup Noodle Factory

8-25 Masumicho, Ikeda, Osaka 563-0041 1st floor

A space where you can make your own Cup Noodle.
Purchase an empty cup for 500 yen and decorate the outside with a pen. After that, you can choose the ingredients you want and make your own cup ramen to suit your taste.

The mysterious taste that changes completely just by adding kimchi to chili tomato!
It's really fun because it feels like you're making your own cup ramen.

Also, since they use the same machines as the actual process,
you can study the process of making cup ramen and the principles of plastic packaging.

2) Chicken Ramen Factory

8-25 Masumicho, Ikeda, Osaka 563-0041 2nd floor

Advance reservation is required, 1,000 yen per person.
You will receive an apron and a bandana when you enter.
You can take the bandana home as a souvenir.

You can experience the process of making instant ramen, starting from flour.
The flour is kneaded, stretched, and thinned into a machine.
It is made into noodles, seasoned, and then fried.
It's easy to do now, but what was it like in the past?

Even instant ramen isn't easy to make. It is an opportunity to be thankful for everything.

In fact, there were many families who experienced it.

3) Ikeda Castle Ruins

3-19 Shiroyamacho, Ikeda, Osaka 563-0052

It is located a 15-minute walk from the Cup Ramen Museum.
There is a large lake and carp, so you can feed them.
The lake is wide and there is a 2nd floor observatory, so it is nice to see.
However, the road is rough and high, so I do not recommend walking.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, so I could not enjoy the park.

4) Ippungdang Ikeda Branch

2-10 Masumicho, Ikeda, Osaka 563-0041

It is a franchise restaurant, but the Ikeda branch is a bit special.
A place where the manager expressed his respect by saying, “It is an honor to open a store in the birthplace of instant ramen.” If you feel the value of ramen, how about trying some real Japanese ramen this time?

Nothing in the world is easy to make.
I hope this trip will make you feel that way!
