Dive into the Spicy World of 'Death God Cold Noodles'
On August 18, 2025, Tokyo Reimen, a cold noodle specialty shop located in Akihabara, will unveil its latest fiery creation: the 'Death God Cold Noodles' priced at 1,200 yen. Designed specifically for those who crave extreme spice, this dish promises an experience like no other.
The Aesthetic and the Heat
The 'Death God Cold Noodles' present a refreshing appearance, yet the heat it delivers is anything but gentle. As diners begin to sample the noodles, an overwhelming wave of spiciness hits, inviting them deeper into the “Yomi” (the realm of the dead).
Tokyo Reimen has meticulously crafted this dish to be the ultimate delight for spice enthusiasts. The secret behind the intense heat lies in the use of powdered Carolina Reaper pepper, known for being one of the hottest peppers worldwide. Combined with a specially made broth that balances refreshing acidity with a rich flavor, this is a bowl of noodles created with passion and expertise.
The Ingredients
The toppings are equally exciting: fresh shiso leaves, crisp cucumber, spicy bean sprouts, seasoned ground meat, and juicy tomatoes add to the dish's vibrant appearance. Diners may find the colorful toppings inviting, but one slurp reveals the relentless heat beneath.
Choose Your Spice Level
For adventurous patrons, Tokyo Reimen offers three levels of spiciness:
- - 1st Level - Gate of Hell
- - 2nd Level - Hell
- - 3rd Level - Realm of Yomi (Death God)
For those confident in their spice tolerance, the 'Realm of Yomi' level is a must-try. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone searching for a thrilling experience in Akihabara's dining scene, especially for fans of spicy lunches or cold noodles.
