Monster Hunter Wilds Hype Leads to Cheese Shortage at Tokyo Restaurant

It appears that the excitement for Monster Hunter Wilds has extended beyond gaming, reaching as far as the food industry. A local Nepalese eatery in Tokyo recently ran out of cheese naan due to increased demand.

Two days following the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds on March 2nd, the Nepali restaurant Salam Namaste was astounded by an unusually large order of 99 cheese naans in the late night hours. This request came at a time when gamers, now satiated from their hunting adventures, opted for online food deliveries.

Due to the restaurant running out of cheese naan, the owner had to make a late-night trip to Inageya to restock. On various posts across X (previously Twitter), people showed appreciation for Monster Hunter’s impact, possibly because it heavily features cheese as a crucial ingredient in its gameplay cooking.

Over the last few days, Monster Hunter Wilds has been incredibly popular, indicating that Capcom has another major success on their hands. The game just surpassed 1.3 million simultaneous players on Steam, which puts it as the sixth biggest launch on the platform, even outperforming Elden Ring from FromSoftware and Capcom’s own Monster Hunter: World.

In my gaming world, I’ve dived deep into Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and it’s not just the virtual landscapes that are captivating; it’s also spilling over to reality! You see, in the game, Kunafu Village in the Windward Plains is a hub, nestled within the first biome. It’s famous for its delectable cheese dishes, and I’ve found myself craving that authentic taste off-screen too!

The detailed cooking cutscenes Capcom has meticulously crafted have left me yearning for a bite of real cheese goodness. So much so, that I’ve discovered the delightful Cheese Naan from Salam Namaste—it’s both amusing and heartwarming to find my gaming passion sparking real-life adventures!

In the world of Monster Hunter games, food plays a significant role, offering bonuses such as enhanced health, protection, and endurance. Watching a cooking scene in these games might spark an unexpected craving within you – so beware, you may find yourself feeling quite peckish!
