The Shin Yokohama Ramen Museum in Japan is the world's first food-themed amusement park. The museum's mission was to create a space for people to enjoy all the various types of ramen around Japan.

The replica town houses nine ramen shops that represent different types of styles found throughout Japan. Some cities represented include Sapporo, Yamagata, Kitakata, Tokyo, Tokushima, and Hakata. In addition to styles local to Japan, the Ramen Museum also includes ramen from France, Germany, America, and even Australia.

The ramen shops offer all types of ramen soups including miso, tonkotsu, salt, soy sauce and etc. Ramen wouldn't be complete without your favorite type of noodle and the shops offer thin, thick, wrinkled, and hirauchi noodles. Now that we've got the soup and noodles handled, it's time for the toppings and the Ramen Museum has got this covered.
