Captain America and Iron Man Ramen now being served at Tokyo restaurant

Despite his mono-national name, after three hit movies, Captain America has achieved fame and success around the world. As a matter of fact, he’s popular enough in Japan that the producers of "Captain America: Civil War" bucked the common trend of Japan getting movies months after the rest of the world and actually released Cap’s newest film in Japan before its U.S. premiere.

As such, many Japanese fans have already watched Team Captain America go toe-to-toe with Team Iron Man, but now the two groups of heroes stand opposed yet again, not in an ideological debate or fistfight, but as two different takes of special Marvel-themed ramen, which we were only too happy to try for ourselves.

Since Marvel knows far more about making comics and movies than it does about making noodles, for this project the company teamed up with Ippudo, one of Japan’s most beloved ramen chains. On May 13 and 14, visitors to Ippudo’s Minami Aoyama branch in Tokyo will be greeted by life-size statues of Cap and Iron Man, plus stacks of adorable Marvel Tsum Tsum plushies.
