Cheese Naan is selling out like crazy in Japan, and it has everything to do with Monster Hunter Wilds, the video game, for some reason.

Monster Hunter Wilds, renowned for delivering cutscenes and animations of food that are sure to make you start foaming at the mouth because of how good they look, has done it again. This time, the latest trend is its stretchy cheese naan.

Animations of the same proved to have such a strong effect on Japanese players that the popularity of a Nepalese restaurant based in Tokyo is now sky-high. If anything, Games Radar has even reported that the eatery almost ran out of cheese, given the influx of customers, prompting the official social media account to thank the game for the extra business.

Memes, jokes, and remarks have already begun inundating X, and we've rounded up all of the best ones for you to enjoy, even if you can't grab a bite of the cheese naan in Tokyo yourself. Have fun!
