Throughout the original series from Funimation and VIZ Media, chef Jonathan Kung walked us through five uniquely inspired dishes based on some of the core characters of the original Naruto anime series: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and Orochimaru.
In each episode, we were treated to step-by-step instructions on how to serve up some seriously delicious ramen recipes, all while celebrating the origin of everyone’s favorite budding Hokage. And now? Well, we want to share the recipes with you!
