For an entire 2 weeks, we gorged ourselves on instant noodles while cruising on the Trans-Siberian railways through Mongolia and Russia...

So as you can imagine, we HAD to make a pilgrimage to the Instant Ramen Noodle Museum. It's an easy train ride to Ikeda from Osaka.

It was a fun-filled afternoon learning the the amazing legacy of instant cuisine as well as taking the cooking class to make our very own chicken flavoured noodles.

Make sure you book if you want to do the cooking class – we were lucky that they had 2 spots left in the class. It's well worth doing!

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Great location as you are steps away from the heart of Namba, and you’ll have access to multiple stations via underground walkways protecting you from any weather elements. A tip is that the hotel ground entrance is located at the northeast corner of the building, as the map may not directly show that."
