PlayStation shares a funny video recipe featuring Yakuza: Like a Dragon's Ichiban Kasuga 'cooking' an appetizing-looking omelette.

While most major Yakuza fans have likely already played Yakuza: Like a Dragon at this point, the PS5 release only launched on March 2. In order to promote the worldwide release of the PS5 version of the game, PlayStation Japan has shared a unique cooking video featuring the series' latest protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga.

The Yakuza: Like a Dragon video is part of an ongoing series where PlayStation-based video game characters 'teach' viewers how to cook specific recipes. In this particular instance, the cooking video demonstrates how to make a basic omelette.

The video carefully pieces together gameplay from Yakuza: Like a Dragon with actual footage of cooking an omelette. Courtesy of Yakuza: Like a Dragon's new job system, the two blend seamlessly together as Ichiban 'cooks' while using the Chef job. As the recipe slices and dices ingredients, he hacks away at an enemy with cleavers. When it flips the omelette, he uses a Chef Essence skill doing the same thing, before shoving an enemy's face into the pan.

While it remains to be seen if anyone is actually taking notes on the real recipes shared in these videos, they're certainly an amusing way of promoting a game series that's known for its zany sense of humor. Unfortunately, the recipe video may leave a sour taste for some viewers, as the PS5 upgrade of Yakuza: Like a Dragon from the PS4 release is currently experiencing difficulties. While the developers are already on the case, some players may not be able to experience the graphical overhaul and improved loading times right away.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
