Day 8: Yokohama

Day 8: Cup Noodle Museum, Yokohama







Yokohama Chinatown
The closest station to go to Chinatown by JR is from Ishikawacho station and then only short walk from there.  If you have chance visiting here, don't miss the pork bun for 300yen, xiao long pao 863yen (6pcs) mix 3 different flavours, and sweet sesame ball for 100yen.

Chinatown, Yokohama is extremely huge, nothing like in Sydney.  This is actually the largest Chinatown  in Japan and also in whole Asia.  There are 9 various gates around there.  Never ending snack shops and mostly Chinese cuisine restaurants.

Day 8: Cup Noodle Museum, Yokohama

Day 8: Kamakura



Another very cool food theme park in Japan.  The Cup Noodle Museum in Yokohama.  They showcase everything about instant noodle from history side, get our hands down to ramen factory until sampling some noodle in noodle bazaar.  However, It was public holiday the day we went there, therefore the factory was already fully booked.


1958, the first instant noddle is invented

Although the food served in the place like this bazaar, still the dishes are nicely presented.  The portion is pretty small, but that's the beauty of it, so we can try more flavours.  We didn't do so, because we plan to go to Raumen museum for our next and last stop for the day.  That's why we need to spare our tummy for another noodle meal over there.
