Yokohama Cup Noodle Museum (May 2015)

Heading towards Yokohama, where there is a huge shopping mall and a famous wheel, which is really spectacular during the night, me and my friend went to the Cup Noodles Museum. (though you can say it's for kids...)

The weather was really good and so we rented city bicycles and toured our way round Yokohama! (STRONGLY RECOMMEND!)

You just need to register online with your credit card and use your suica card (your JR/underground travel card) and it will tell you how to unlock this!











After that you can use the card to bip the machine and the bike will be unlocked. These bicycles can be found in lots of tourist spots so that you can park them easily and find them easily! The charge stops when you parked it. (The price wasn't too bad. )

As soon as you step inside the museum, you will see this massive cup noodle with the representative birdy on the top.

Bought a ticket for 500Yen (adult price).


There about 4 floors to see? But I was too excited to get my own cup noodle done, so I headed straight there XD

You will see lots of tables with colourful felt tips pens.





There are empty cup noodle machines on the left and you just need to pay 350Yen for one.




Then you will be able to start making your own version of cup noodle!


You will see this chicken again and it's a sample cup being put on each table.

                                     My first design...











The other side of the cup...


I used to really like Hamtaro and that's about the only thing I can draw from my mind....

I also drew one more for my friend that didn't come with us this time...














The other side....














Colouring in the letters......

Then go line up to get the fillings inside!

Getting the noodles base in first...



Then get the flavourings! Eggs, Crab, Corn, Bacon, Kimchi, Chicken-shaped naruto, prawn...


The Chicken shaped-naruto.. cute cute...

Ta da~~

Getting your cup sealed ! You need to turn the above wheel~~

And Packaged

Then passing through this huge machine where it sucks all the air out.









And... Completed!



After that we started to walk around the museum.

They have history of every single brand of cup noodles that had ever came out.

 On one of the floor, there is a balcony where you can seat down and rest! And of course, admire the view.

Then there is a cup noodle canteen where you can order cup noodles to eat!

At the end you can walk around the souvenir shop. I discover this cute cup noodle-shaped cake with red bean fillings. (but I didn't buy it cos I am not a big fan of red bean)

We did some more bicycles and eating, then it's night time~

We went to this pier to get a tour boat to get a better view of the Yokohama Night view!

At the end, the boat stops at Akarenga (Red Brick) Shopping mall. There are restaurants and shops inside it. This building was built with a Western design and the night lighting was also very romantic~~

Then again, there are bicycles around for us to borrow and ride back to the Yokohama station!
