Miyuki Iwata wins Asia Eating Contest in Shanghai
The Shanghai Daily reports that Miyuki Iwata (岩田ミユキ) , runner up in last month’s “Gluttonous Queen” contest, won the Asia Eating Contest held at the Shanghai Jiuguang Department Store. Iwata’s non-contest meals are at least as impressive as her contest performance. A typical meal for her weighs 6kg (13.2 lb, more than Denny’s 96er burger) She claims to spend most of her salary on food and once spent $3,548 on food one month. This is Iwata’s second Chinese contest in 2006; she won a Hong Kong contest in January.

Thank you for your comment on my blog.I was very astonished and glad.I’m afraid that I can’t write as much big eater’s news of Japan as you hope,because of my poor English skill and my hand’s pain(sometimes I take a rest).Actually,Auto-translation is faster and more correct than my blog.Above that,Your blog has much infomation already!! Wonderful!
