Even if you are not a manga enthusiast, you must have heard of Naruto at some point in your life. Selling 235 million copies worldwide in 35 countries, it is the third best-selling manga series in history. And now, the celebrated Ichiraku Ramen in the book has become a reality.
Last Saturday, the world's first officially authorized Ichiraku Ramen shop opened in Shanghai. Located at Global Harbor, a large shopping mall in the Putuo District of the city, the eatery attracted throngs of manga fans who lined up outside to have a taste of the best ramen.
The restaurant offers a variety of ramen with prices ranging from 39 yuan (5.8 U.S. dollars) to 65 yuan (9.7 U.S. dollars), and also some Japanese snacks. It opens from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
