So you’ve just announced the latest entry in one of your two biggest franchises. The trailer is a barn-stormer and everyone is excited. Life is great. You want to splash out. So you do the obvious thing that a multinational Japanese game publisher does. You open a restaurant and start peddling edible brains.
That’s what the house of Resi did this week. Yep, the Capcom Bar now exists (opens in new tab) in Shinjuku Tokyo, and its cool-but-possibly-sick-inducing-after-you’ve-been-in-there-for-a-while cobalt lighting scheme belies a multitude of genius (and occasionally horrible-looking) game-themed dishes.

Or maybe the truly horrific-looking leg of some manner of beastie. Probably a monster. That has been successfully hunted:
Want more of this culinary Capcomian madness? Of course you do. Click over to the restaurant’s site (opens in new tab) for the full menu. And yes, they do have a Resident Evil herb salad.
And some sodding beautiful cocktails.
