An unprecedented, never-before-seen battle is
about to begin. MANSHU-O
MR. WANG That was ready fast! It didn't even take
one and a half minutes. There it is,
the famous super-fast tomato fried rice. And we've got ramen.
It's a machine-gun carbo attack. -Go on in!
-Welcome. What a surprise! -Thank you.
-Wow. This isn't YouTube quality at all. Just as the sumo wrestlers took the lead,
the next dish was ready. Hold on a second. Here you go. All right. He keeps shoveling it in. That's way too fast! ONE-MAN CHINESE DINER CHEF
VS. SIX FORMER SUMO WRESTLERS Hello, this is NOBROCK TV.
We have a special program today. I've always wanted
to do this kind of show. Having come from "TV Champion," I've wanted to do a serious eating battle,
and now it's finally become a reality. This time, a chef
from a super-fast one-man Chinese diner will make all the dishes
he can in 90 minutes. And a group of big eaters will see if they can eat it all
in that same 90 minutes. The Chinese diner chef is Mr. Wang
from the popular Chinese diner near Higashi-Koenji Station, Manshu-O. This is a famous Koenji Chinese
restaurant that celebrities visit. He's the self-proclaimed fastest cook and makes every dish
in two minutes or less. The group of big eaters he'll be facing
are six former sumo wrestlers. The former Komusubi Mr. Sakuma
has eaten 13 bowls of ramen and 100 pot stickers at once. And former Sandanme Mr. Yamamoto is 167 kg and can eat 40 plates of sushi. Mr. Wang will have 90 minutes to cook. The sumo wrestlers will have 90 minutes
to finish after they start eating. And since whoever is victorious
will win 300,000 yen, this will be a serious battle. Who do you think will win? I'm not sure. I'd like Mr. Wang to win,
but I'm unsure if he'll have the stamina. I mean, there will be six eaters,
so they can take a break. Let the food wars begin! The battle is about to begin. It's the fastest chef
versus big-eater sumo wrestler team. Start! I love Mr. Yano's announcing! Hakkeyoi! We're off!
He starts by preparing eggplant. An important point is what the first dish
will be and the order of dishes. After 90 minutes… He cut those fast. The sumo wrestler team
is leaning in trying to get a look. They're already hungry.
They sure do look happy! Some of them have even
already gotten chopsticks. Sakamoto has gotten chopsticks,
and now Yamamoto has too. What are you cooking, Mr. Wang? This is pork and eggplant. Pork and eggplant, a dish he's famous for.
There's already a nice aroma. Mr. Wang is from Manchuria. This restaurant is called "Manshu-O" because it not only means
"King of Manchuria," but because he is Mr. Wang of Manchuria. Whoa! The sumo wrestlers have a look that says,
"Hurry up! Isn't it ready yet?" Naturally, Mr. Wang usually takes orders and washes dishes besides cooking
all the food all by himself, and he's 60 years old. -All by himself? Amazing.
-Yeah. He's fast. He's already taken control
with his speedy preparation. -He's Mr. Wang, the fastest chef.
-That looks so good! This is the first in a 90-minute battle. The first dish is already done.
That was ready fast! It didn't even take
one and a half minutes. It's being served to Mr. Sakuma. -Dig right in.
-That looks so good. Pork and eggplant stir-fry
in one minute 15 seconds! He's shoveling the pork and eggplant
into his mouth. How's it taste,
former Komusubi, Mr. Sakuma? -It's hot.
-The eggplant is hot. My food is the hottest. It's delicious. It is? Thank you! If you burn your mouth… -He's fast.
-The next 80-plus minutes will be rough. I'll go slowly. You'll eat slowly and blow on it.
What did you toss in just now, Mr. Wang? -This is my secret soup.
-Your secret soup? Yes, it's filled
with many different things. You use it in different dishes? -Yes, I use it in everything.
-In everything? Everything. -The fried rice too?
-That's right. You use your secret soup
even in fried rice? Yes, I use soup. The next dish is already done.
What is this dish? Stir-fried pork and bell pepper strips. It's pepper steak! That was fast! It's been served to Taiki Okazaki. Here goes. Go ahead. It's hot, so it'll cause trouble later
if it burns you. This is Taiki Okazaki, age 30. Since he retired just this year after
the Hatsu basho tournament in January, he's still got a big appetite. He's practically still wrestling. This is good. Thanks! It's delicious. Naturally, Mr. Wang is
happy to hear him say it's delicious. -He is a chef, after all.
-Thank you. It's a competition,
but he wants them to enjoy the food too. He really is fast. Hold on a second. That was fast! You're already finished? And Okazaki has also finished eating. That was fast! That's insane! He finished that fast. -That's so fast.
-He finished that fast. They're eating it as fast as he cooks it. Just when Okazaki is finishing up,
the third dish is served. Double-cooked pork
in one minute 46 seconds! Yum. That's a "Yum" for the double-cooked pork. Mr. Sato here hasn't eaten
since this morning. Misters Sakamoto, Yamamoto,
and Hirano still haven't been served. They've got a look of, "Where's ours?" Those three still haven't eaten. What's this next dish? It's very red. Pork and kimchi. -Here comes the pork and kimchi.
-Here goes. He sure looks happy. Is it hot? -Delicious.
-How is it? -It's delicious.
-Is that right? Each mouthful is really huge. Two are almost finished. -Are you already done?
-I'm done. Unbelievable. He has already finished. No way! And Sato has finished eating as well. They've caught up with you.
And Sato has finished eating as well. That's way too fast! This is stir-fried bok choy. -Here comes some stir-fried bok choy.
-Thank you. That stir-fried bok choy looks good. -Here comes some stir-fried bok choy.
-Thank you. I love this. -Time for some stir-fried vegetables.
-He looks so happy. That's a great look. Four of them have already finished eating. Nice. Is that garlic? That looks so good! -Done! What incredible speed!
-This is stir-fried vegetables. Stir-fried vegetables. Thank you! -It's served to Hirano.
-Thank you! It's just been served to Hirano.
It's steaming-hot stir-fried vegetables. I can really taste the oyster sauce.
It's delicious. Thank you. Meanwhile, Mr. Sakamoto
has already finished his first dish. Seriously? This is gonna be tough. Wait. This is pretty tough for Mr. Wang. So far, the sumo wrestler team
seems to be in the lead. What will Mr. Wang’s next dish be? They've all got a look like
they're not just ready for more, but they're hungry
and want something to eat fast. I'd like some fried rice. "I'd like some fried rice."
He's ready for more. Okay, here's some fried rice. -You're going to make fried rice?
-Yep. In response to the request,
he takes it on with gusto. He's more than glad to do it.
He's more than glad to make fried rice. What is that? This is butter. Butter? He's giving the customer
just what they want. Though this is a competition, Mr. Wang is showing his dignity,
his pride as a chef. Next up is the dish
that Mr. Sakuma said he wants to eat. Here comes the rice. He's not using cold rice.
He's using hot rice. There's no place to put cold rice anyway. We don't have a microwave. Since we don't have a microwave, if I win the 300,000 yen,
I'll buy a microwave. Then you sure better win. I won't lose! Nice! It's really hopping,
bouncing like crazy in the wok. It's really hopping and bouncing! There it is, the famous
super-fast tomato fried rice. Whoa! That looks really good. -You're next.
-Thank you. Just what he was waiting for. It's super delicious.
I wouldn't cook it if it wasn't delicious. -That's good.
-Thank you. That's a heck of a spoonful. Egg fried rice. Mustard greens fried rice. Natto fried rice. Zha cai fried rice. -Kimchi fried rice.
-Thanks! -I finished the second time around.
-Second time around. Okay. We’re now witnessing a fried rice battle! Their huge bodies
just keep shoveling it into their mouths. Their stomachs are like black holes. Can you believe it? Hirano has finished everything. The counter in front
of the sumo wrestlers is empty. This is bad news. The sumo wrestler team finished it all.
They're bonding as a team. Maybe six guys is too many. Next, I'll make some stir fry. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Their "Thank you"
sounds more like, "Hurry it up!" Don't bully me! Here comes the next,
a typical Chinese dish, egg stir-fly. TOMATO AND EGG STIR FRY: 1:40 GARLIC CHIVES AND EGG STIR FRY: 1:45 Soon-to-be 61-year-old Mr. Wang
keeps serving dishes, but the big-eater sumo wrestler team
finishes them off one after another. There it is. Okay, he's finished eating. He's finished. -Thank you.
-Thank you for the food. There's nothing
on the sumo wrestlers' counter again. That's amazing. The look on Mr. Wang's face
is pretty serious. -You can still keep going?
-Ah, yes, I'm just fine! The sumo wrestler team is tough to beat. Mr. Wang seems to be in a pinch.
What will his next tactic be? Mr. Wang's keeps changing up the dishes, so they just eat it right up
without getting tired of it. Now the real battle begins. Ramen? Next, it's ramen. And we've got ramen.
It's a machine-gun carbo attack. Ramen? Will they be okay for 90 minutes? I get it. It's an all-out attack.
A full-out assault. He's set out a whole line of ramen bowls. -All at once?
-All at once. -It'll come all at once.
-All at once. It's going to come all at once. Now, he's filling the bowls
with his secret soup, his masterful sauce. They can't keep themselves
from leaning over the counter. Here comes the ramen noodles. It looks like he's going to hit them
all at once in a rush of food. How many bowls? One, two, three… The sumo wrestlers are waiting,
and it's coming all at once! Soy sauce ramen. Bean sprout ramen. -Miso ramen.
-Each one is different. This is salt ramen. Here comes another. Last is the green onion ramen. -That's amazing.
-Now Mr. Wang jumps into the lead. His tactic was to serve
six bowls of ramen all at once. Let's take it slow! Here he comes! Mr. Wang is rallying back! HOWEVER… The amount they put
in their mouths is huge. That was fast, Mr. Yamamoto.
He's already done. How did it taste? It was delicious. What? He's finished! And now Mr. Sato is also finished eating. Thank you. Unbelievably,
there's only one sumo wrestler who's still eating their ramen. You're done already? Now, as for the time,
we're almost at the halfway point. There's 45 minutes left! This is really interesting. I mean, they've already eaten
fried rice and ramen. And even after the fried rice, they finished the ramen
in one and a half minutes. This is bad for Mr. Wang.
He won't be able to buy a microwave. This is the menu at Manshu-O. I wonder what he can serve to get at them. Fried chicken would take a long time. Or something spicy. I'd like to have
his Chinese-style fried chicken. I want to have that. The fastest Chinese diner chef
versus the big-eater sumo wrestler team. There are 45 minutes left in the battle.
They've entered the midway point. Mr. Wang prepared 24 dishes
in the 45 minutes of the first half. Have his arms tired out? They're tired for sure! Meanwhile, the big-eater
sumo wrestler team has gobbled down
four whole dishes each in 45 minutes. Will their bottomless appetites be able
to keep up this pace until the end? Who will ultimately win? Now's the real battle. Next, I'll go with mapo tofu. -Yay!
-Oh, mapo tofu. Here comes the mapo tofu. Now, it's time for the momentum to change. -Spicy stuff.
-We've got mapo dishes coming. It looked like he had pulled away, but the sumo wrestler team
has caught back up. Mr. Sakuma's pace
has dropped off suddenly. He's going to catch back up.
Wait! Mr. Sakuma has been served a dish. Just when he finished eating, he got a dish of mapo tofu
to take its place. That looks really delicious! This is where it really begins. Mapo rice bowl coming up. It's a bowl of rice,
covered with mapo tofu. This means the dishes
are coming all at once. He's pouring it on
with a machine-gun attack! It's a one-two punch! -That's spicy hot!
-It's spicy hot? -That's hot!
-No way! What's happened to Sakuma? It's hot! This is insane. Insane? It's hit him. The hot spices have struck. Is this spiciness
like it is back in China? That's right.
Manchurian cooking is always spicy. They seem to be incredibly spicy.
I see. He's using spiciness as a weapon. This is Mr. Wang's strategy.
He's slowing them down with spiciness. Now that it's past
the halfway point of 45 minutes, he attacks with spicy hot dishes. The sumo wrestlers
are stopped in their tracks. Whoa, that color. That's a lot. That's a whole lot. -Whoa! That looks really good.
-Here you go. Mapo harusame. It's a double attack
of heat and spiciness attack. How's it taste? A little spicy. It sure does look spicy. If you have to,
you can let someone else eat it. They're battling as a team, after all. I'm still in this.
We're only at the halfway point. If I don't keep it up, I'll be in trouble. Mr. Wang says he's still in the game
and has even become energized. It really does seem like the mapo
has changed the momentum. Let's take it slow! Here he comes! Mr. Wang is rallying back! He's even got oyster lettuce. Mr. Wang, I don't think
that will fill them up. Mr. Wang is starting to smile again.
He seemed like he was in a pinch earlier. No, I'm not smiling yet. Not yet? No, not yet. You can see the sweat on Mr. Wang's brow. It's become one heck of a battle.
Neither side is giving an inch. That's fast! -The lefty Mr. Wang is really speedy.
-That's fast. He's cut the eggplant very finely. He's really showing us
the power of Chinese food. The dishes just keep coming and coming
from this single wok. What's coming next? -Stir-fried eggplant and pepper strips.
-Thank you. Here's some eggplant
and pepper strips. It's hot. It's hot. This is really good. Thank you! So energetic.
Mr. Wang hasn't slowed down a bit. Even though it's a battle, they're still saying
"delicious" and "thanks." In hopes of slowing down
their pace of eating, Mr. Wang aims to turn the tables. But the sumo wrestler team
was also incredible. It's become one heck of a battle now.
Neither side is giving an inch. Now Mr. Sato's finished eating. No way! You're kidding! Mr. Okazaki doesn't like spicy foods,
but he's finally finished. How's your stomach, Mr. Okazaki? Just fine. Just fine? You're not being honest. The sumo wrestler team
still has room to spare. -Fried chicken?
-Fried chicken? Next is fried chicken. Their interest in the next dish
has been piqued. I see. Here it comes! Here it is! Who's next?
Here comes the fried chicken. This'll weigh their stomachs down. Deep-fried spare ribs. Fried foods have entered the ring! Chinese-style fried chicken.
It's really hot. Here comes the chicken. That Chinese-style fried chicken
looks delicious. Here, Mr. Wang hits them
with a deep-fried machine-gun attack. Give us all one of those. They all want some of that. They all want to eat some. They've started to pass it around
and taking one each. They've all started to say they want some. They're passing it around and sharing it. They all want the fried chicken,
so they've shared it among themselves. I'm going to lose if this keeps up.
This is looking bad. I'm tossing in the vegetables as is.
Next is spinach and eggs. You need to mix up what you eat, right? The next dish is ready. This is spinach and egg. Nice and healthy. Spinach and egg. That's unusual. Neither team's pace
has slowed down at all since the start. It's a real dead heat
as they both try to outdo one another. FINISHED IN TWO MINUTES 34 SECONDS FINISHED SIX DISHES Amazing! There's 30 minutes left, but the sumo wrestler team
has plenty of room to spare. But after this, a change takes place. Sixty minutes have just passed.
There's 30 minutes left. Only one-third of the time is left.
We're entering the final stage. -Next is yakisoba noodles.
-Yakisoba! Here comes the yakisoba. His carbohydrate attack has begun.
It's a noodle onslaught! Here it comes! Sauce yakisoba! For the sixth round,
he's serving yakisoba. Are you okay? I'm just fine. I mean, he's already eaten
fried rice and ramen. -He's so fast.
-He's so cute the way he eats. Wow. That's amazing. Next is salt yakisoba. Salt yakisoba.
It's a yakisoba machine-gun attack. That's the 36th dish.
He's got an endless number of dishes! -Sakamoto is served the salt yakisoba.
-Here you go! What a happy look he has on his face. This is delicious. Thank you! By the way, Mr. Sakamoto,
how full is your stomach? About 70%. -About 70%?
-He's still got plenty of room. This is bad. That's true. And Mr. Hirano is
still waiting for his food. Looks like Hirano can't handle much more. -Mr. Hirano, raise your hand.
-Here! -How full is your stomach?
-95%. You liar! His stomach is 95% full, but Hirano was just served
a mustard greens yakisoba. He's trying to eat it all at once.
His strategy must be to defeat it quickly. Hirano can't take anymore. Mr. Yamamoto, this is really delicious. Really? What's this? He's passed it off.
Mr. Yamamoto happily accepts it. Here goes. The mustard greens yakisoba
has been passed off to Mr. Yamamoto. Which means that a member
of the sumo wrestler team is starting to struggle. There are 20 minutes left. At this point, Mr. Wang has prepared
37 different dishes. Mr. Wang's brutal carbohydrate assault has pushed one of the sumo wrestlers
to the verge of giving up. Mr. Hirano's on the verge of giving up. Thirty-seven dishes. And no two the same. And he's been making them so fast too. With only 20 minutes left,
things aren't looking good for Mr. Wang. It seems to me that with 20 minutes left, the six of them could somehow finish off
everything he serves. With 20 minutes left,
they've entered the final stage. And the battle is about
to take a sudden twist. Rice. Is that rice?
Is he going to serve rice again now? Let's make some garlic fried rice. -Whoa!
-Fried rice with lots of garlic. He's still got plenty of weapons
to attack with. He's got an endless number of dishes. The dishes keep coming endlessly. But the sumo wrestler team
is able to eat endlessly as well. This is endless versus endless. It's a battle
of the fastest versus the toughest. Here it comes! Here's the fried rice. There's not much. This will be the seventh round. And he went for the rice cooker.
Which means more rice. Mr. Okazaki gets another rice bowl. Mr. Okazaki also had the mapo tofu bowl. A bowl. Another bowl of rice. Another bowl of rice. Mapo eggplant bowl. It's a mapo eggplant bowl.
That's three rice bowls in a row. And it's the seventh round. The expressions of the sumo wrestlers
are starting to change. They're really enjoying it. -This is shrimp fried rice.
-Shrimp fried rice. -Shrimp fried rice.
-This is great. Even now, he's really enjoying it. Both teams will be fighting
for 90 minutes. After 90 minutes, if there is still any food left,
the sumo wrestler team loses. But if everything is eaten,
the sumo wrestler team wins. For Mr. Wang to win, he needs to be faster
than the quick pace that they eat. Deep-fried pork. The fried dish is served. Unbelievably, the 95% full Hirano
takes only one of them. He's practically dropped out
of the competition. He's useless to the team now. Hirano can barely even get down one piece.
He's passed off the rest. Here comes the rice again! Chinese-style rice bowl. All right! It's topped with piping hot starch sauce. A Chinese-style rice bowl is really heavy! Such momentum in his eating. As long as it's not spicy,
he can finish it off. But the wrestler next to him
is struggling. My stomach… Unbelievably, he's a weakness.
What about your stomach? My stomach is really… -How full are you now?
-95%. 95%? Unbelievably, 95%! He's only got 5% of room to spare. Just a little more. After Hirano,
now Mr. Sato is really struggling. There's five minutes left. The Chinese diner's chef
has cooked 50 dishes. Amazing. Mr. Wang continues to prepare dishes
with an astonishing machine-like stamina. He isn't just still energetic. This battle has entered the final stage. And the dishes still keep on coming. Garlic chives and cutlet bowl. Just look at that! What? Just one noodle? This could be the end. The time left for Mr. Wang is
down to three minutes! -He's panicking. Over here.
-Here you go. It's been served to Mr. Yamamoto. At this moment, for the first time, there are dishes left in front
of each of the sumo wrestlers. Now Mr. Wang is in the lead.
He's in the lead! Will he stay in the lead and win? Mr. Okazaki has completely stopped.
Mr. Sato has stopped as well. Only Yamamoto continues.
Their ace is Yamamoto. Will he stay in the lead?
Here comes some pot stickers. Boiled pot stickers
and fried pot stickers coming up. Those are the most delicious. Here it comes! This is the dish Mr. Sakuma wanted. It's really hot. Be careful. Here it is!
This time is fried pot stickers. Pot stickers in a row. This is what I wanted to eat first. The sumo wrestler team
has been forced to the edge of the ring. But there's still one who continues to eat
and hasn't given up. The time left for Mr. Wang
is now down to just two minutes. That's enough! -Only two minutes?
-That's enough! Are you still going to cook? Yes, I am. Mr. Wang is still going to keep on cooking
with only two minutes left. Now, that's the fastest chef for you. The fastest chef versus
the big-eater sumo wrestler team. Grilled udon noodles coming up. Finally, he's going for the strong finish! Grilled udon? Grilled udon? Grilled udon noodles? Here's your grilled udon. Only one minute left.
And he serves grilled udon noodles. Mr. Wang is a force to be reckoned with.
He's not holding back. He's merciless. The 300,000 yen is in his sights now.
The microwave oven is in his sights. Counting down now! Ten… Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four… That's all the time for Mr. Wang.
He's made 56 dishes. No way! That's amazing! Mr. Wang prepared
56 dishes in 90 minutes. And the sumo wrestler team
has one minute left. There's still food left. Is this going to be a countdown
to Mr. Wang's victory now? I did my best. You're kidding. The time remaining
for the sumo wrestler team is ten, nine, eight, seven. Their chopsticks
have completely stopped moving. -Two, one. It's over!
-You've got to be kidding, guys! -That's it! It's time to announce it.
-I did it! Mr. Wang is completely victorious! -All right!
-The fastest chef is the victor. Well, well. We totally lost. -Oh, no. Not at all.
-We lost. -We're full.
-We lost. That was a magnificent fight. And the brilliant victor is Mr. Wang.
And as announced, here's your 300,000 yen. -Congratulations!
-Thank you. Wow! That was an unforgettable battle. -Mr. Wang made 56 dishes?
-Yes. In 90 minutes? That's mind-blowing. That Mr. Wang is incredible. I think Mr. Wang is the only person
who could do this competition. The biggest question is whether there's anyone else
who can do this. That's the question. Mr. Wang was incredible.
Mr. Wang is the victor. Congratulations, Mr. Wang. The 300,000 yen went to Mr. Wang, the fastest Chinese diner chef,
who prepared 56 dishes in 90 minutes.
