Food/sake bout in the Edo
Some of you may know Takeru Kobayashi, the Nathan's champion. In the Edo period, stupid food eating bouts/sake drinking bouts also conducted.
Sake bout
I pick up female results.
Miyo drank 0.7 gallons of sake without showing her drunken face.
Sumi drank 1.1 gallons of sake.
Oiku and Ofun also drank a lot of sake all days.
不許悪客(下戸、理屈)入庵門
This means no bad-mannered drinker, getting angry, sleep, crying after drinking incl. non-drinkers or people argumentative by nature in the bout.
Food bout
Kichizo, aged 74, ate 54 bowls of rice with 58 chilies.
Kanemon ate 50 manju dumplings, 7 bars of Yokan sweet jellied adzuki-bean paste, 30 rice dumpling and 19 cups of tea
I tried 1 kilo curry a while ago, but in fail. I was confident at first, but I left 2 or 3 more spoons of curry, and I had to pay a 2000yen fine in the end.
