The Founder of Nissin Foods
Everyone has a special place in their hearts and space in their bellies for ramen. Whether it's a quick snack or a hearty meal, there's one man you can thank for bringing instant ramen to the world: Momofuku Ando.
Ando had a mission to provide affordable, delicious and convenient food options for people worldwide, which led to the creation of Nissin Foods in 1958. On an early trip to the U.S., Ando noticed Americans curiously eating forkfuls of noodles out of cups, instead of using bowls and chopsticks. With that simple observation, the worldwide Cup Noodles phenomenon was born.
After expanding into the U.S. in 1972, Top Ramen became the first instant ramen manufactured and sold in America. This changed American food culture and household pantries nationwide, and it's all because of Ando, the father of instant noodles.
