A cool match made in Japan: Cup Noodle-flavoured ice cream

Japan’s inventive spirit has repeatedly found a creative outlet in some curious culinary creations, including a new frozen treat that is one of the world’s truly unique flavour experiences.

The Cup Noodle-flavoured ice cream is being served only at the Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama, a city south of Tokyo. Visitors can sample the chilly confection made with the same powdered soup and freeze-dried toppings – onion, shrimp, chunks of egg and meat – that go into Nissin’s famous hot meal in a styrofoam container.
