Honestly though, who doesn’t like Ramen?

Whether it’s the cheap $0.35 Ramen from Walmart, Shin Ramyun from Hanyang Mart, or fancier Ramen from Daruma with chicken broth – who could say no to these?

Since I was young Korean Ramen noodles have played an important role in my life – I believe Korean Ramen noodles is what people call soul food to me.

Hungry but don’t want something too heavy? Ramen!

Parents aren’t home and you don’t feel like cooking? Ramen!

Friends are over, and y’all are craving SOMETHING but don’t know exactly what you’re craving?

R A M E N!

When someone suggested that we visit the Ramen (Cup Noodle) Museum which was about an hour away by subway, I squealed with excitement.

And the fact that you could MAKE YOUR OWWWN CUSTOMIZED RAMEN?

GOTTA GO, BRB!

From what I remember, a group of friends and I hopped on the Mita Line from Hakusan Station and then had to switch to the Tokyu – Toyoko Line to get to Yokohama – which is located next to Tokyo Bay.

The day we went, the weather was absolutely beautiful.

Tokyo had been rainy on and off, but luckily the weekend we decided to go – it was sunny but not hot. Super nice weather – except the fact that it was a bit windy!

If you watch my vlog on YouTube, not only can you catch 2 whole minutes of me applying makeup, but you can also watch how the “make your own cupnoodles” works!

It’s a really cool, fun, and interactive process that I enjoyed a lot.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to eat the Cup Noodle within the expiration date (which is a month from when you make it), but I still have it for decoration & memories.

If you’re looking for a weekend getaway – I definitely recommend visiting the cup noodle factory – also, visit the little restaurant they have inside that sells noodles that originate from other Asian countries!

Though the serving sizes are small, one bowl was probably less than 300 Yen – allowing me to buy multiple bowls from “other countries”.

Totally worth!
