Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen
See a famous man, a star in Asia.
In Osaka, in Asia, I mastered an old art and made a modern fun fast-food.
I am founder of a first kind of Asian fast-food.
I made a soft strained udon, so common men earned, stood, and ate.
It takes moments to make - meat or no meat.
Smart men make it, morons make it too.
Most said it is true, sure - I am first to find food for most men to stand to stand to take a fork out and eat.
Soon, a food is inter-national.
An idea makes me a sort of freak, as I turn into a famous star in Asia.
As men ate it as a main food and as a treat, I started to earn more and more funds - on a streak!
From time to time, some random men in Asia said it’s ’so so.’
Some rude dour ones stammer and make a stink!
Some said its odor is of feet!
Some said it taste of sand and dust and dirt.
Some said it is a fad!
I asked, ‘So?’
It’s not steak!
I don’t fear men.
I tried to make a food men eat, and men store. No more.
If men eat it, it is food!
As I die, I eat it.
After I die, and into future, inter-national men remain fans of, donate, and eat our fun, soft, food.
On August 25, 1958, in Osaka, Japan, at the age of 48, and after months of experimentation to perfect a flash-frying method, Ando - a Taiwanese citizen who had born under the era of Japanese rule in Taiwan - marketed the first package of precooked instant noodles under his own Nissin brand. Ando began the sales of his most famous product, Cup Noodles, in 1971, providing a waterproof polystyrene container. As prices dropped, packaged ramen soon became a booming business, worldwide. Ando died in 2007.
