Was interesting to learn the history of Ramen and have fun painting your own labeling. Quirky little museum to spend an afternoon :)

Was there in 2017 and back again in 2022. They upkeep the place so well. It's as good as a brand new attraction. It's like it never aged! Clean and well maintained. Kudos. I don't mind heading back again every few years. We make our own cup noodles as u would know. The portion is definitely more than those sold in the stores.

Some parts of the museum were closed. Visted Golden Week 2022. Only the ground floor exhibits plus goft shop were open. And of course, the make your own cup noodle activity. Your entrance ticket gets you one cup so if you want another cup you can pay 400yen at the vending machine. Then you have 15 minutes to decorate your cup before you choose your own toppings and soup base and it’s wrapped up for you.

If you just so happen to be near by then welcome to visit. Don't make a specific trip to come here. Top you'll only spend 30mins here to make your own cup noodle plus a very small museum. Service is great as usual.

A novelty for sure, never seen at place like this. Can make your own ramen, there is a full experience (must pre-book) or standard experience, interesting small museum as well. Mostly in Japanese, so some we couldn't understand. Great fun anyhow.

The Cup Noodles Museum is a unique highlight if you have the time in Osaka. The absolute highlight is the "workshop" where you can create your own ramen soup. First, there are some craft tables where everyone personalizes their cup. Then you can choose up to 4 ingredients and see how your own cup is created. You can consume it up to a month later. All other parts of the museum are only in Japanese, so unfortunately you can't understand much there.
