The Yakuza series!  It’s a Japanese video game franchise that combines high melodrama and low-brow goofiness with lots of surprisingly sincere moments and I love it.  My husband and I enjoy playing games together, especially RPGs, and Yakuza 0 was the first Yakuza game we played.  This recipe is a tribute to that experience and a nod to the love of food, including ramen, you can find in the games.
