In 1954, Momofuku Ando created instant noodles. And in 2000, a study was conducted according to which the Japanese recognized instant noodles as the greatest invention of the 20th century. Some restaurants and large retail chains produce such noodles under their own brand. This practice is popular among well-known establishments with a large number of visitors. The cooks on shift simply do not have time to serve the flow of customers, so portions of ramen are produced on an industrial scale.
