Oh My Cafe is introducing a special Marvel cafe pop-up in Umeda found in Kita-Ku, Osaka. It will be running from this September until next month in October. It originally opened in Tokyo last year featuring a slew of dishes that are inspired by the marvel Cinematic Universe.
Fans flock to try the special dishes including "the Spirit-Lifting Paprikash Vision cooks for Wanda in Civil War, the chicken sandwich Peter Parker orders from Delmar’s Deli-Grocery, a healthy tomato pasta dish representing Captain America, a curry offering that recreates the scene in Thor where Mjölnir was found in the desert, a jet black squid ink gratin for Black Widow and a donut and bagel sandwich from Iron Man 2 when Tony Stark is caught by Nick Fury inside the Randy’s Donuts sign."
