Naruto and this reviewer have the same motto — no ramen, no life. While Naruto has Ichiraku Ramen on the show to down bowls of ramen at, in Mumbai he would probably be slurping at Supa San — and as a loyal shinobi of the Hidden Leaf, we followed suit. When you walk into Supa San, you are bound to spot hints of the manga and anime universe across the space; partitions are adorned with motifs from Naruto; ninjas are printed on cocktail glasses, and there is a permanent pop-up kiosk by The Comic Book Store (from Linking Road).

Prawn tempura and Buta gyoza

Our favourite is the T-shirt worn by the staff, with a vivid print on the back, that is available on sale. The vibe is playful yet detailed, much like the menu, prepared by chef Hideki Hiwatashi (who has previously worked with Michelin-starred properties) and executive chef Dayamani Singh. They boast of a special selection of sake, among other spirits, and the cocktail menu is by Trisha Koparde, who welcomes us with calpico (Rs 850), a refreshing, smooth shochu highball with vanilla and whey soda.
