In case you’ve been living under a rock, the little critters from Chiikawa are arguably the most popular animated characters of the moment, due to their adorable looks and quirky personalities. From their large-scale exhibition set to open in August to their collaboration with McDonald’s, these animated characters have taken the city by storm.

Ever experienced that surge of cute aggression where you just want to bite something because it’s so adorable? Well, you’ll soon be able to do just that, because Chiikawa have just announced on Instagram that they’re bringing Japan’s massively popular Chiikawa Ramen Buta – a Chiikawa-themed ramen restaurant – to Hong Kong.

The Japanese animated series has teamed up with local hospitality group Flames Concepts and is set to unveil the Hong Kong location by mid-August. While there aren’t many details yet about what will be available at our city’s outpost, Hongkongers will likely get to slurp up bowls of Chiikawa-themed ramen in a restaurant fully decked out with these adorable characters.

Based on what we’ve seen on social media, diners can order bowls of tonkotsu broth ramen, which come in three different sizes and have their corresponding characters – mini (Chiikawa), small (Hachiware), and large (Usagi). Each ramen order comes topped with chashu, garlic, and a character-shaped piece of fish cake. Plus, diners will receive a sticker of the character based on their bowl size.

Stay tuned to our page as we find out more details about this ridiculously adorable ramen restaurant closer to August.
