Ippudo is an esteemed Japanese restaurant famed for their noodles.They have a “secret” ramen bar, which sounds quite exciting. And if you have special noodles and a secret HQ, who better to team up with than the Avengers? On Thursday and Friday a super special “Avemgers Interactive Ramen” will be served to 40 lucky chowhounds:

At 5:00pm each day, 40 lucky patrons ( no reservations will be accepted) will get a chance to participate in the Marvel Comics collaboration. Each customer receive a special T-shirt designed by Marvel artist Matt Waite, and each bowl of ramen will be served with beverages selected and paired by Chizuko Niikawa-Helton of Sake Discoveries.
 
“As one of Marvel’s biggest fans, I could not be more excited to honor Marvel’s Avengers in the form of ramen. I’ve had to carefully consider each character’s powers and personalities in order to select the appropriate ingredients to blend in our bowls,” says Kanegae. “Now if only Marvel will lend me Iron Man’s armor to wear while cooking both nights!”


I have no idea how early you need to get there to taste these noodles, but maybe eat some “stamina ramen” first to tide you over the wait. I’m sure Marvel’s CB Cebulski had a hand in setting this up before he jets off to his new job in Shanghai.
