We took on Japan’s crazy viral noodle eating challenge: Wanko Soba (わんこそば)!

What is "Wanko Soba"? Wanko soba is an allyoucaneat competition with yourself to eat as many bowls of soba (buckwheat) noodles as you can with no time limit! One Wanko Soba bowl is equal to one mouthful of noodles, and 15 is equivalent to one regular serving of soba noodles. So just how much can we eat? Watch to find out and wait until the end to see one of Japan’s most unique traditional snacks flying dango!
