Design Your Own Cup Noodles
1 hour
First, you purchase a blank cup from a vending machine for ¥300. Then, you get to design your cup using provided markers, drawing whatever you like. Once your cup is decorated, you move on to fill it with noodles and toppings. It's a super fun and creative way to personalize your ramen!
- Cup design with markers — Using colorful markers, you can draw and decorate your cup noodles cup with unique designs. I drew some wavy lines and wrote 'Dancing Bacons' on mine.
- Noodle filling process — After designing your cup, you place it on a conveyor belt where staff invert it and fill it with noodles. You get to turn a handle to watch the noodles drop into your cup, which is a cool, interactive step.
- Chili Tomato Soup Base — One of the soup bases you can choose for your custom cup noodles. I picked the chili tomato flavor, which adds a nice kick.
- Prawns topping — One of the four toppings you can select for your cup noodles. These are dehydrated prawns that rehydrate when hot water is added.
- Hiyoko-chan Fish Cake topping — A cute, chicken-shaped fish cake topping, a signature character of Cup Noodles. It's a fun addition to the ramen.
- Cheese topping — Dehydrated cheese cubes that melt into the soup, adding a creamy and savory flavor to the cup noodles.
- Chicken Meat topping — Dehydrated chicken meat pieces, another topping option to add protein and flavor to your custom ramen.
- Curry Soup Base — Another soup base option for your custom cup noodles. My partner chose the curry flavor.
- Hiyoko-chan Fish Cake topping (Curry) — The cute chicken-shaped fish cake topping, added to the curry-flavored cup noodles.
- Cheese topping (Curry) — Dehydrated cheese cubes, added to the curry-flavored cup noodles for extra creaminess.
- Egg topping (Curry) — Dehydrated egg pieces, a classic topping for instant noodles, added to the curry-flavored cup noodles.
- Mystery Meat topping (Curry) — The famous 'mystery meat' topping, a popular and flavorful addition to the curry-flavored cup noodles.
- Cup sealing process — After adding ingredients, the cup is sealed with a lid using a machine. This ensures the contents are fresh and ready to take home.
- Shrink-wrap packaging — The sealed cup is then shrink-wrapped in plastic, which helps preserve it and makes it ready for transport.
- Heat tunnel for packaging — The shrink-wrapped cup passes through a heat tunnel, which tightens the plastic around the cup, completing the packaging process.
- Bubble bag for cup noodles — A cute, clear bubble bag provided to protect your custom cup noodles. You inflate it with a hand pump to cushion the cup.
- Bag strap string — A red string provided to create a strap for your bubble bag, making it easy to carry your custom cup noodles like a small purse.
- Completed custom cup noodles · ¥300 — The finished custom cup noodles, complete with personalized design, chosen soup base (Chili Tomato), and toppings (prawns, Hiyoko-chan fish cake, cheese, chicken meat). It's a unique souvenir and one of the best cup noodles I've ever had!
