A Culinary Grand Line: Taste the Adventure

The first wave of menu items brings to life dishes fans have long dreamed of. Imagine savoring the “Mugiwara Salt Ramen ~Mizumizuniku~,” a recreation of the legendary “Water-Water Meat” from the series, known for its incredible juiciness and restorative properties. Mizumizuniku (水水肉) is a mythical meat known in the ONE PIECE world for its succulent, water-like texture and immense size, often depicted as a feast for the hungry.

Also on offer is Mr. 2 Bon Clay’s beloved “Takopa,” a dish only mentioned in dialogue, leaving its taste to the imagination until now. Takopa (タコパ) is a playful abbreviation for “Takoyaki Party,” a popular Japanese gathering where friends make and enjoy octopus-filled dough balls. These offerings, alongside items inspired by Nami, Usopp, and Chopper, and character-themed original drinks, promise a truly immersive experience.
