Considering the cold weather, we couldn't think of any better way to spend the day than with a hot bowl of noodles at the Instant Ramen Museum.

For 300 yen (roughly £2), you could design your own noodle pot, pick all the ingredients and watch as it made it's way through the line.

We started out by doodling on our pots. Lots of visitors drew the little chicken mascot on their pots and it was fun peeking at everyone else's deigns.

Our pots then entered the line and we turned a wheel to tip the noodles in to them.

Next up, we got to pick our ingredients. I choose sweet corn, egg, prawns and fish paste coins with the little chicken on.

A film lid was then stamped on to the pot.

Finally the pots were shrink wrapped before being dispensed at the other side and we got cute little bags to carry them in which inflated to protect them.

We were super hungry by the time they were ready so we headed down to the canteen where there were vending machines filled with dozens of ramen pots.

The rest of the museum told the story of how instant ramen was invented and there was a theta her inside a gigantic ramen pot.
