Nissin Cup Noodles

Nissin Cup Noodles is the world's first cup-type instant ramen, introduced in 1971. The brand was founded by Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant noodles and the founder of Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd. Ando's innovation revolutionized the global food industry by providing a convenient, shelf-stable meal that only requires hot water and a few minutes of waiting.

Today, the product is manufactured in numerous locations worldwide to serve local markets, including major facilities in Japan, the United States, Hungary (for the European market), and across Asia. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Nissin Foods Group, which continues to lead the global instant noodle market with a focus on food safety, innovation, and diverse flavor profiles tailored to regional tastes.
