In 1958, Japanese people lived mainly on subsidized bread. To help people have a convenient food without depending on foreign countries, Japanese man Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles.

He is also responsible for the success of Nissin, a chicken-flavored instant noodle that can be easily prepared anywhere. In his autobiography, “The Story of the Birth of Instant Noodles” (2002), he recounts walking on the streets of Osaka after the end of World War II.

Seeing long lines of people shivering in the cold waiting for a bowl of noodles, in the context of devastated Japan and severe food shortages, he decided to create a noodle dish that was cheap, easy to prepare, and could be preserved at room temperature.

After many trials and failures, he finally invented Chicken Ramen. This is considered a breakthrough in the world culinary industry.
