Grander Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest On Its Fourth Year

Last year was an unforgettable moment for me as I won the media group for the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest Year 3 held at New Glorietta Activity Center. As they promised, the new year of the annual eating competition get tougher yet with prizes getting bigger and better.

Though I was not part of this year's competition, it is still an opportunity to support fellow blogger Ruel Umali (www.ruelumali.com) on his bid to be the winner in the media group. I did gave pointers and some techniques that I used and the things I have learned from the previous year which he can use for his way of chomping down bowls of beef. 

My Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest Experience

The gastronomic journey is endless, yet its more delicious than the glutton's destination. This has been my motto for food which makes me love food a lot, and to be part of something cool about food is always a green light for me. This is why I participated in different eating contest in the past to see, if my digestive system is prepped up for the job. Yoshinoya's Gyudon Eating Contest this year gave me an opportunity to much on my favorite Japanese dish, the Gyudon and recently I won in the media challenge along with the 28 weekly winners from different branches which one of them took home 100,000 pesos.

I came I Ate I Conquered Yoshinoya's Gyudon Eating Contest!

No doubt I do love Japanese food and Gyudon is one of them. Yoshinoya, where I consider to have the best Gyudon in the country, is having the GYUDON EATING CONTEST now on its fourth year. Indeed it is a challenge as the dish is very heavy even for a regular bowl. Now imagine yourself eating several bowls within the limited time of 5 minutes.

To get to know the feeling, we had a blogger's contest on who can eat the most bowl in 5 minutes. I had experienced this contest 2 years ago where I came only second with 3 and a half bowls. As you can see, the table is placed with gyudon bowls, condiments and a glass of water. The countdown begins ...3...2...1...

You can also be part of this contest which open to all, and the first step is to go to the nearest Yoshinoya outlet near you. Up to 100,000 pesos is up at steak for the winner! Isn't that sweet, eating and winning has never been this great!

füdfÿt: YOSHINOYA!

 

ITADAKIMASU!

 

I always and ever will love Japanese food, for the flavor, style and many other aspects. I loved how they are made, the variety of their cuisine and most especially the different texture and flavor in each dish. And among the Japanese restaurants that I would admire for having great Japanese food is Yoshinoya. Yoshinoya has been a very well-established brand in Japan for more than a century and still a household name for the Japanese people. Just a quick history about  its origins, Yoshinoya come from the root word "Yoshino", which  is a old province in Old Tokyo and "Ya", which means house. Yoshinoya is very known for their Gyudon (beef bowls) and other dishes like Chicken Teriyaki, Beef Yakiniku, Pork/Chicken/Fish Katsudon and Pork/Chicken Hayashi.

For now, Yoshinoya has seven branches in Metro Manila (Parksquare 1, SM Megamall, Robinsons Galleria, SM North EDSA, Greenhills, SM Mall of Asia, and Sta Lucia). And with each branch you can enjoy authentic Japanese dishes in a fast food setting, so you can enjoy your meal more than waiting for it to be done. 

Yoshinoya is also present in Anime Conventions and Events that are attended by many Cosplayers, Anime  Otakus,  and Japanese enthusialists.  Yoshinoya will offer new dishes in the future that would  further enhance your Japanese cuisine experience like enjoying the meal as if it really came from Japan! Also they are planning expansion for another branch so it could serve more customers here in Metro Manila in which a growing population are now hungry to get a taste of the world famous Gyudon!
