"We wanted to do something fun and exciting to bring singles together in a non-traditional way," says EastMeetEast Founder Mariko Tokioka. "Having Kobayashi judge the competition and demonstrate is the icing on the cake. He not only brings his expertise to the event, but an exhilarating and dramatic flair wherever he goes. The excitement surrounding him is palpable."
Kobayashi is known for his trademark body wiggle, referred to by some as the "Kobayashi Shake", to force food down his throat and settle more compactly in his stomach. With this and other signature moves, he has single-handedly transformed competitive eating into public obsession, as witnessed in the documentary about him, Hungry."
EastMeetEast will provide an all-expense paid dream-date in New York City for the winner. "We're thrilled to provide a dream-date to the winner. You never know?maybe eating Ramen can bring people together too!" says Tokioka.

EastMeetEast will be streaming the competition LIVE on their Facebook page the day of the event.
