The museum has everything a ramen devotee wishes for – history, souvenirs, and of course ramen. Yes you can eat there too. At the entrance you are met with an enormous animated bowl of noodles and a store inside sells everything you need to make the noodles at home – bowls, hotpots, noodles.

The walls of the museum tell the history of the dish and how it evolved. Visitors can also take pictures wearing chef’s clothes with a ramen bowl in the back ground. The museum’s interior recreates a historic neighbourhood in Tokyo from 1958, which was the year ramen was introduced in Japan and became a national favourite.

Further, there are nine restaurants to pick from, each one offering local varieties reflecting every part of Japan and the various ways to prepare the noodles.
