Got 3000 yen? About $28? Then You Can Have Piranha Ramen!

Got your attention? Of course I do!

It’s another tasty “What The Friday!?!?!?!” Because you can get REAL Piranha Ramen – but you have to act fast if you want to bite down on a dish that promises to bite back!

Here’s the origin of this unique dish: on April Fools Day, the Japanese event creators Holiday Jack sent out a press release claiming they were going to sell the world’s first ever “Piranha Ramen.”

And they were stunned by the response!

As SoraNews24 reports:

“The response sent the Holiday Jack team into overdrive, as they attempted to win back the favour of ramen fans by finding a way to actually make this ramen dish a reality. So they went off and ordered a huge shipment of edible piranha from the Amazon River in South America!”

Yes, the company ordered TWO THOUSAND edible Piranha to be delivered to Tokyo, and now they are making good on their promise to serve up delicious “Piranha Ramen” to anyone who comes by!

They are referring to this as the “world’s first 100-percent piranha broth” – and who is going to argue?

Piranha Ramen will only be available from September 20-23, so if you want to head over, make sure you do it then!

By the way, this isn’t the first unique ramen dish I’ve shared from Tokyo…anyone remember when I shared this story?

Yes, Jason Statham made a film called “Hummingbird” and in Tokyo, they created a special “black noodle ramen” dish to celebrate it – you can click here to see how it tasted, and what made it black!
