This is what’s said to have inspired him to create Nissin’s Cup Noodle: a design that can be enjoyed by people all over the world.
Almost exactly 48 years later, Nissin is releasing a fork that’s been specifically designed for exact purpose.
Nissin teamed up with design firm nendo, who created an obsessively designed fork based on hours of user observation.
The tip and sides of the fork are the exact same angle as the circular cup that holds the noodle.
