In the battle between favorite heroes itâs hard to choose sides, but thereâs only one way to settle it: with food. For Captain America: Civil War, Marvel teamed up with the ramen chain Ippudo in Tokyo, creating the ultimate Marvel ramen meal to battle it out for your allegiance.
Marvel fans can not only get their noodle on this weekend (May 13th and 14th), but theyâre also be greeted by life-size Cap and Iron Man statues, and stacks of adorable Marvel Tsum Tsum decor.
This special Marvel ramen is available as a course meal for 4,500 yen ($42 US). For that price, you get your moneyâs worth with not one, but two kinds of ramen, so that you can really get the full experience of choosing sides in this noodle Civil War.
RocketNews24 was lucky enough to try this super supper and took a bunch of photos to document this once in a lifetime meal. Fans should not be disappointed, as not only do the serving bowls resemble the two heroes but the contents reflect the team members as well. Capâs ramen contains komatsuna, Japanese mustard spinach, which is supposed to look similar to Clint Bartonâs long arrows. Even tiny little specks of black pepper were added, meant to stand-in for Ant-Man, who’s a âbigâ part of Team Cap.
Meanwhile, Team Iron Manâs ramen cleverly uses a soft boiled egg as Tonyâs arc reactor, a spun edible web to represent Spidey, and noodles made with carrot to resemble Black Widowâs hair. Well, I guess thatâs better than adding spiders into the mix.
Weirdly, the Iron Man ramen also comes with a handful of Doritos right in the bowl. They say itâs a nod to Black Pantherâs claws but Iâm going with my fanfic of Visionâs love of guacamole.
If two bowls of ramen isnât filling enough, the feast also comes with rice balls and pieces of stamped seaweed, a Super-Soldier Serum Soda, and crunchy âWinter Noodles.â Captain America panna cotta and a special Marvel/Ippudo crossover T-shirt round out the meal, and are the perfect ways to end a massive superhero food battle.
Such a spectacular meal is obviously going to be popular, and true to form, all 200 reserved meals are already booked for the weekend. Check out more images in the gallery below.
