A restaurant in Japan has decided to include an animated twist into one of its menu items. The restaurant, located in Nagoya, decided to serve Dragon Balls together in a hot pot filled with other food items, according to Food Beast.
In the animated series and movies, acquiring Dragon Balls would render years of searching. But in Danke Dining restaurant in Japan, getting your own serving of Dragon Balls would only take minutes.
Danke Dining's Dragon Ball-themed hot pots are called Dragon Ball Nabe. The word "Nabe" means hot pot in Japanese.
Based on none other than the beloved anime series, the Dragon Ball Nabe is served with seven orange balls, crafted to look like Dragon Balls with collagen jelly and little pieces of carrot cut into stars and molded inside the balls, according to Kotaku.
The Dragon Ball Nabe comes with uncooked meat and vegetables, as well as a seasoned broth that is boiled based on a customers' preference. There is also a dipping sauce included in the meal.
Apparently, the interesting Dragon Ball dish has even gained some media attention in Japan.

Unfortunately though, the gelatinous balls cannot grant any wishes aside from a full stomach.

Apparently, Japan loves "Dragon Ball Z."
Danke Dining is not the first restaurant to serve Dragon Ball-inspired food in the country.
In 2013, Mini Stop Stores in Japan offered DBZ-inspired food as promotion for the then upcoming "Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods" film. According to Saiyan Island, among the DBZ food they sold back then included the Super Saiyan French Fries, Majin Buu pudding, a pizza flavored Spirit Bomb snack, Whipped Cream and Chestnut Krillin bread, Vegeta's salad, deep fried Dragon Balls, and Piccolo's Green Tea Cream Puffs.
