Kobayashi Food Battle Club clips on youtube
Several video clips of Food Battle Club have been uploaded to youtube. Food Battle Club is the Japanese competitive eating program with the most expensive production values.
- Kobayashi & Takako Akasaka race down a sushi table
- Kobayashi drinks a liter of ice tea (and finishes 2nd), then eats sushi
- Kobayashi drinks 25 iced coffees in 5 minutes. This contest is preceded by an “auction” in which eaters announce how many iced coffees they can drink.
- Unknown eater drinks water bottle in under 5 seconds

“Unknown eater” was Ken Domon,who live in Hokkaido,Japan.He was the first man who tried to drink 1.5l bottle of water within 5 second.Most of paticipates drank it about 10 second.So his performance surprised other paticipates very much at that time.Especially,Kobayashi was very glad to see it and he used to say it the one of his most favorite performances in his event.

that clip of the liter of water in 5sec is freaking cool. I still think the most impressive stunt I’ve ever seen is when Joey Chesnut drank a gallon of milk in 41 seconds to qualify for Wing Bowl 14….that rocked

i agree the gallon in 41 seconds is one or maybe the greatest drinking stunt ever

I bet BB can down a 6-pack in less than 3 minutes. If so that would have my vote.

I thought the liter was great!
Is there video of Chestnut’s 41 second Gallon Chug? it sounds awesome.
I know it was a radio station, but maybe a cell phone camera or something?

The liter in 5 seconds is cool. And unlike the gal’s video of 40k, there’s no way to manipulate a complete video.

I also agree, the 41 second gallon was not thought to be possible by doctors. Hell, a gallon in an hour was thought nuts several years ago. It is interesting to note that at the end of the chug it looks like blood comes out of his nose. I was the pansy that qualified at a wing off and puked like a candy ass late in the second round.

I was glad to see that other people are interested in Ken Domon’s stunt.Actually Ken Domon couldn’t eat more than other participants,so he’s never appeared on TV after that.It was surprized that he tried and found the way to drink 1.5 liter within 5 seconds by entering some air in the bottle at first.
Chesnut’s stunt surprises us by the capacity of his stomach and the power of his throat,and also his spirit to try it. I think they are different.
