A Japanese ramen chain is about to test Jujutsu Kaisen fans’ appetites with a new edible Sukuna Finger that looks just as cursed as the real thing.
According to the official press release, ramen restaurant Dotonbori Kamukura has announced a collaboration with the popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen. However, this isn’t just any collab as it features a menu item that recreates one of the series’ most infamous cursed objects.
From February 25, the chain will begin selling a hyper-realistic edible body part based on Ryomen Sukuna, the series’ primary antagonist, whose severed fingers are treated as forbidden objects in Jujutsu Kaisen.
The finger-shaped char siu pork is priced from ¥1,000, roughly $6.50 USD, and will be sold in limited quantities exclusively at the restaurant.
This Jujutsu Kaisen collab is not for the faint-hearted
While the finger-based food may look visually unsettling, the restaurant says it was developed with flavour and texture in mind. The pork is marinated in a soy sauce-based seasoning designed to pair with ramen, while cartilage has been used to recreate a crunchy bite and texture.
It’s not just Sukuna’s finger that is up for grabs, as the collab also includes a selection of character-themed dishes.
Main character Yuji Itadori is represented by a tomato-based ramen topped with melted cheese, while Choso’s dish involves fried chicken served with a spicy Korean-style sauce. Megumi Fushiguro’s dish is a jet-black noodle bowl made with sesame, Kinji Hakari’s is a “piping hot” fried rice with a thick sauce, Yuta has a creamy white ramen, while Panda has sesame gyoza dumplings.
The Osaka and Tokyo flagship restaurants will also be transformed for the event, with seat-specific decorations, newly drawn illustrations, and mini character art placed throughout the stores.
This isn’t the first time Jujutsu Kaisen has turned Sukuna’s Finger into food, as Lawson previously went viral for selling a finger-shaped Danish pastry that drew attention for its questionable design.
