Oh, Japan. You and your game-themed food. YourTales of Heartscurry didn’t look too hot,but we’re totally down for yourYakuza 3ramen.
On March 2nd,Yakuza 3ramen will hit Japanese grocery stores and konbini.IGNsays that Sega just announced a partnership with food company Ace Cook to produce the line. It turns out that there’s an in-game shop inYakuza 3called Kyushu Ichibanboshi, which happens to also be the name of the real-world ramen. Apparently, if you enter the shop in the game, the manager will tell you the story behind the real-world ramen’s development. That’s a pretty nifty cross-promotional idea!
I’m hungry for both the ramen and the upcoming PS3 game, set to release in Japan on Feburary 26th.
