  • Japanese Highway Service Areas or Rest Stops are quite amazing and in this episode we’ll look at one of them that has a food challenge! Tomobe SA in Ibaraki Prefecture has a restaurant that has taken the highest mountain in the area and turned it into a dish. Mount Tsukuba is 877 meters high, but as food, it looks steeper and more intimidating. 16 long cuts of grilled pork cutlets smothered in a savory sauce on a bed of shredded cabbage and rice weighing more than 1kg (2.2 lbs). It may not be as big as some food challenges like the 2.2kg (5 lbs) Monster Gyoza in failed to eat in 2014, but it is still an interesting dish. It costs 1700 Yen ($15) for the set with miso soup and some pickles.
    Eaters can simply order it from a vending machine and it takes about 5-7 minutes to prepare.
    Do you think you can take down Mount Tsukuba in meat?
    Where is Tomobe SA?

    😂 All I kept thinking was, “Stop talking! You’re filling yourself with air and letting the food settle so the brain registers your stomach as full quicker!” The trick to this is not think and just act and consume. 😂 In any case, good job. Love your videos. Keep them up!

      1212 yeah, it is. Your stomach needs time to realize that it’s full, that’s why doctors recommend to eat slower to people who struggle with weight loss because they often eat too fast and too much, and they don’t realize they’re full. For people who are food racers, they eat as fast as possible without talking, not just because of the fact that there may be a time limit, but because they need to make sure their stomach doesn’t realize it’s full for a while.

    Great coverage of what to expect from Japanese Service Centers and the local food and goods that one can find. They sure know how to satisfy the appetite of a hungry traveler. That food challenge was epic. I know that I can't do that meat and rice challenge. But what a surprise that you finished! Great video coverage!

    I've never considered Japan a car country, so I was surprised by the SAs and the food courts. This is why I enjoy your channel; you challenge my mindset and reveal new horizons about Japan and it's culture. Needless-to-say I've truly enjoyed your Ibaraki trilogy. Please do more road-trip style videos. BTW I hope you didn't get indigestion eating all of that food so fast (twice, really?).

      ​@@user-mikeneko5517 Americans don't think the Japanese ride horses. We know you eat them. Americans think trains and buses are used in Japan more than cars. Everyone knows Japan makes cars. Japanese don't go on road trips in their cars as much as Americans. A lot of miscommunication in these comments.
