Cup Noodles (カップヌードル) is one of the most famous, delicious inventions that makes people’s lives easier; this instant noodle in a cup is part of the daily life of most people in Japan. It was created by Momofuku Ando, founder of Nissin, in 1971.

In today’s article, we will talk about the numerous and different flavors of Cup Noodles invented in Japan. Unfortunately, in Brazil, we do not have the chance to try all these flavors. Japanese Cup Noodles are made to resemble ramen as closely as possible, with a good amount of seasoning and many ingredients.

To get to know Cup Noodles better, we have put together a Playlist from the Channel Japão Nosso de Cada Dia  where they try out the most different flavors. To change the video in the playlist, just click on the 三 icon in the left corner.
