Cup Noodle Museum

Mr. Donut

Today we visited the cup noodle museum.  On the way to the museum we stopped at Mister Donut. Take a look at the picture up top, the pink one is sort of like butter mochi which is a chewy cake with strawberry frosting and the other one is a fluffy one with cream inside and chocolate on the outside. It was DELICIOUS!!!  If you ever pass one of these you should totally go.  It is really an experience because the doughnuts are so different than the ones in America!

When we got to the cup noodle museum we went to the activity which was designing your own cup noodle.  First you put three hundred yen into a vending machine.  Then you pick a cup and get the cup out of the vending machine.  Next you color and decorate your cup.  Finally you pick the soup flavor and toppings that you want and seal the cup and your finished!  After we made our cup noodles we went to a cup noodle history movie.  It talked about how cup noodle was invented and how Momofuku Ando, now known as "mister noodle" made it.  After the movie we got to go into a model of the place where mister noodle made his noodles and take a picture with a statue of him.  I really liked this museum and I would recommend the design your own cup noodle thing because it was really fun.
