Densetsu no Sutadonya, a Japanese restaurant chain, is offering free food for a year to customers who beat a massive meat bowl challenge, SoraNews24 reports.
The chain's name translates to “Legendary Sutadon Shop.” Sutadon is short for “stamina donburi,” or stamina rice bowl, and the challenge centres on a stamina bowl of legendary size.
SoraNews24 says the prize could save a winner a lot of money on future meals. Branch locations, dates and entry rules are not yet part of the announcement, so travellers should check with the chain before planning a visit.
Our view
This is a fun food promotion worth flagging for Japan-bound readers, but until the chain publishes branches, dates and rules it stays a curiosity rather than a practical tip.
