There is only one company that can rightfully claim the Pinnacle of Noodledom. Only one
company whose founder, faced with a Japanese food shortage after WWII, invented instant
ramen and sparked a 3-minute global revolution. Only one whose spirit of innovation
continues to provide simple, nourishing delight to billions of people. Only one that has been
loved around the world for more than 60 years. There is only one Nissin Foods.
NISSIN IN THE U.S.
On a trip to the U.S. in 1966, Mr. 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. Shortly after, Nissin officially put down its
roots in the U.S. In 1972, our Gardena, CA, plant started production of Top Ramen®—the first
instant ramen manufactured and sold in the U.S. And ever since, Nissin Foods USA has
launched a continuous stream of new and innovative products for hungry, noodle-loving
Americans.
