Who could resist a challenge such as this, the Beef Gyudon Eating Challenge, i could have easily won and first to finish off that 3 delicious bowls of Yoshinoya's beef goudon, versus 9 other challengers (you bet!), have i not been tempted to savor that rich tasting flavor of beef in every bowl of it. But for me, having joined the contest, is like winning the challenge itself, cause i got to enjoy big time, every spoonful of it..Hurray to Yoshinoya’s Beef Gyudon Eating Contest, now on its 4th year!

Yoshinoya, the country’s most popular

the SM Mall of Asia Activity Center the following year.
This year, the challenge will still be nothing
short of exciting, with more participants expected to sign up for the contest.
Composed of two challenges, the contest is
open to all male and female participants 18 years old and above. Qualifying Rounds will be held Monday through Friday at all
Yoshinoya stores at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., and then at 6 pm and 7 pm from
