For an entire 2 weeks, we gorged ourselves on instant noodles while cruising on the Trans-Siberian railways through Mongolia and Russia...

So as you can imagine, we HAD to make a pilgrimage to the Instant Ramen Noodle Museum in Osaka.

It was a fun-filled afternoon learning the the amazing legacy of instant cuisine as well as taking the cooking class to make our very own chicken flavoured noodles.

We even got to design the front of the pack containing our creation!!

Make sure you book if you want to do the cooking class – we were lucky that they had 2 spots left in the class. It's well worth doing!

We loved this property. The room we booked was big enough for all our luggage and a lot bigger than other rooms in the area! It’s next to a 7/11 as well and this made it perfect for late night Konbini runs! :)
