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

Got your attention? Of course I do!

I love ramen: and every single time I buy it, I film this:

My “Sky High Ramen!”

Yes, a bowl of ramen with slices pork, egg and more is one of my favorite meals.

I will add some extra sliced fish to the bowl as well…but is this addition to the bowl a “bite too far?”

Because, if you had a craving for  REAL Piranha Ramen – I found a dish you can bite down on that promises to bite back!

Here’s the origin of this unique dish: one year 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 reported at the time:

“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, where they made good on their promise to serve up delicious “Piranha Ramen” to anyone who stopped by!

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

Piranha Ramen was only available for a short time, but based on the overwhelming success, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it come back!

Of course, SoraNews24 always has the greatest stories about life in Japan…you can see all of this story by clicking on their website here:

By the way, this isn’t the first unique ramen dish I’ve shared from Tokyo…anyone remember Actor Jason Statham’s black ramen?

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!

I love ramen, especially when it is served in a fun way, like this ramen burger:
