Chicken Ramen (The Birthplace)

Wait just three minutes after pouring in hot water. Once you lift the lid, the savory aroma of chicken rises gently—the world's very first instant ramen began right here. It was created by Momofuku Ando, the founder of Nissin Foods. He conducted extensive research in a tiny shed of only about ten square meters, built in his backyard in Ikeda City, Osaka. Finally, it was released on August 25, 1958 (Showa 33). Initially, an 85-gram pack cost 35 yen. The convenience of being able to eat it with just hot water greatly transformed the dining tables of people in the post-war era and eventually spread across the globe. The later Cup Noodles also originated from this single bowl. From a single packet, the world changed. The invention born in Ikeda continues to live on beyond the rising steam.
