OUR FOUNDER, MOMOFUKU ANDO

There is only one company that can rightfully claim the Pinnacle of Noodledom. Only one company whose founder, faced with a Japanese food shortage after WWII, invented instant ramen and sparked a 3-minute global revolution. Only one whose spirit of innovation continues to provide simple, nourishing delight to billions of people. Only one that has been loved around the world for more than 60 years.

There is only one Nissin Foods.

NISSIN IN THE U.S.

On a trip to the U.S. in 1966, Mr. Ando noticed Americans curiously eating forkfuls of noodles out of cups, instead of using bowls and chopsticks. With that simple observation, the worldwide Cup Noodles® phenomenon was born. Shortly after, Nissin officially put down its roots in the U.S. In 1972, our Gardena, CA, plant started production of Top Ramen®—the first instant ramen manufactured and sold in the U.S. And ever since, Nissin Foods USA has launched a continuous stream of new and innovative products for hungry, noodle-loving Americans.

WHY NISSIN?

Nissin Foods celebrates diversity and inclusion both in our brands and how we do business. Why? Innovation is best driven by diverse perspectives, which create unique results. Respect, steady professional growth, and quality work make our team stronger. We welcome quality folks to join Team Nissin and fulfill our mission to “make people happy by creating delicious, convenient and value-oriented Asian-inspired meal solutions.”
