I enjoyed reading your blog. I’m living and working south of you, on the beautiful tropical island of Saipan. We get lot’s of tourists from Japan every day, as we’re only 3.5 hours from Narita, Nagoya and Osaka.

Your readers may find my blog useful as a source of information on Saipan — life, eating, hiking, working, playing, and vacationing. I’m an eye surgeon, so there are also occasional gory eye pictures on the site too. (Gotta keep things exciting!)

Great job, and hope to see you here someday.

What is it about the Japanese stomach and hunger?

From that kid who keeps eating all those hotdogs to this girl, what the hell is going on?

What makes the Japanese palate so much more superior than the rest of the world? I mean besides the capabilities of these people to be able to shove amazing amounts of food down into their stomachs, but the Japaneses’ superior sense of taste and smell?

Gotta love the total calorie breakdown…one week’s worth in a bowl!

^ LOL

Most of the Japanese competitive eaters are so thin, but they eat so much. I’m so amazed.
