In a moment...an Italian God of Metal. But first, we return to today's Geo Quiz. We were looking for the Japanese city where the instant noodle was invented 50 years ago today.

Norio Sakurai of the World Instant Noodles Association reveals the answer.

Ikeda City in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

That's Ikeda city -- IKEDA. Sakurai says it wasn't long before instant noodles were being eaten just about everywhere.

"Instant noodles can be arranged to the local flavor and local culture, so instant noodle could spread to the world in many different cultures and eating habits."

And who doesn't like instant noodles?! But if there's one thing better, its FRESH noodles. You can get FRESH noodles all over the world, too. We've decided to take a ramen break at the first American branch of the Japanese chain, Ippudo.

It opened in New York this year. Toshiya Suganuma manages the restaurant. And there's one dish on the menu he's especially proud of.
