If you’ve ever watched Naruto, then there is no doubt that you’ve dreamed of getting to go sit down and eat at the knucklehead ninja’s favorite restaurant, Ichiraku Ramen. Every time this noodle stand is on screen, it features some of the most appetizing food ever seen in anime.
Well, London ramen fans won’t have to wait much longer for those Ichiraku dreams to come true, as a brand new Naruto-themed restaurant, Uzumaki, is opening up in the area starting in 2022.
