Momofuku Ando
1910-2007

Quote:

Momofuku Ando, the Japanese inventor of instant noodles — a dish that has sustained American college students for decades — has died. He was 96.

Nissin Food Products Co., the company Ando founded, said on its Web site that he died Friday after suffering a heart attack.

Born in Taiwan, Ando founded his company in 1948 from a humble family operation. Faced with food shortages in post-World War II Japan, Ando thought a quality, convenient noodle product would help feed the masses.

In 1958, his "Chicken Ramen" — the first instant noodle — was introduced after many trials. Following its success, the company added other products, such as the "Cup Noodle" in 1971.

"The Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum" opened in 1999 in Ikeda City in western Japan commemorating his inventions.

Ando gave a speech at the company's New Year ceremony and enjoyed Chicken Ramen for lunch with Nissin employees on Thursday before falling ill, Japan's largest daily Yomiuri reported.

He is survived by his wife, Masako.



I'll be having a bowl of ramen tomorrow in his honour. Reast in peace, Ando-sama.

That is a sad thing. I, too, lived off those while in college.
Thank you for sharing the news.
And thank you, Mr. Ando, for your wonderful invention.

I'm grateful to this man.
Not a breakfast-eater, I take A. M. meds
which absolutely need food under and over.
Enter the chicken ramen...

Our sympathies to Masako .

But the idea of an " Instant Ramen Museum " strikes me as very funny !

Now , everytime I break my noodles in half ,
I' ll think of this man . I always figured a food item so cheap couldn't possibly be good for you , but this man lived a long , long , time !
