Making Chicken Ramen in Ikeda City, Osaka

Yesterday, our class went on a field trip to the Nissin Chicken Ramen Museum in Ikeda City, about an hour away from here by train.

If you've ever eaten instant Cup Noodles, or seen them in the super market, they were very likely the famous Nissin brand, which got its start in 1958 when Momofuku Ando made the very first instant noodle product, Chicken Ramen.

I was looking forward to the outing, and although I had mistakenly thought we were going to a factory, this museum, where we got to make our own noodles from scratch, was educational and fun.

We even got to design our own package:
