Answer to yesterday's question, given by KidA: The person credited for inventing instant noodle ramen is Momofuku Ando, a Taiwanese-Japanese business man. On August 25 1958, at the age of 48 and after months of trial and error to perfect his flash-frying method, Ando marketed the first package of precooked instant noodles called Chikin Ramen, named after it's original chicken flavor. Chikin Ramen was originally considered a luxury item with a price of ¥35, around six times that of traditional udon and soba noodles at the time. Today Chikin Ramen retails around ¥60 which is approximately one third the price of the cheapest bowl of noodles in a Japanese restaurant.
