Mr. Tonegawa Anime's Real Escape Game Offers Dish Inspired by 'Roasting Prostration' Scene
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Kaiji spinoff anime Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues is getting a Real Escape Game, titled "Escape From the Big Demonic Year-End Party," at the puzzle-solving theme park Tokyo Mystery Circus from October 18 to January 27. In addition to the main game, Tokyo Mystery Circus' yelo Cafe is offering a special "Roasting Prostration Sausage Criminal Beer Set" for 1,000 yen ($9).
There is a certain scene in the Kaiji manga in which Tonegawa is forced to prostrate himself on a hot iron plate in front of Hyōdō, and he gets badly burned. The Real Escape Game's food set recreates the scene in a less sinister fashion. Diners who order the set will receive sausage and fries on a grill plate with white bread standing on end. The sausage will have grill marks inspired by Tonegawa's pain, and the set will include a cold canned beer.
In the main Real Escape Game's story, players become new black suits for Teiai Corporation. They then have to amuse Hyōdō at a year-end party. Hyōdō threatens that the penalty for a boring party will be the "roasting prostration" that Tonegawa faced.
