SHIN-YOKOHAMA RAMEN MUSEUM IN<br />
YOKOHAMA, JAPAN<br />
To us Malaysians, it is fondly known as Maggi. To the rest of<br />
the world, it is instant noodles. But, in Japan, it is known as<br />
ramen. A quick and cheap meal for those often on a college<br />
budget, in Yokohama, Japan, an entire museum is dedicated<br />
to ramen and on a wider scale, instant noodles. This culinarythemed<br />
museum consists of nine shops, an interactive display<br />
of all instant noodle types from around the world, as well as<br />
a miniature streetscape replica of Japan in 1958, the year the<br />
world’s first instant ramen was invented.<br />
