Celebrate the Milestone with Exquisite Osechi

As the year comes to a close, the excitement in the air is palpable, especially with the recent news from KNOCK Co., Ltd., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The company celebrates a momentous occasion: their YouTube channel has successfully surpassed 300,000 subscribers! To mark this impressive achievement, KNOCK is releasing a luxurious Osechi for year-end festivities, expertly curated by the famed competitive eater and YouTuber, Takuya Yamamoto, also known as 'King Yamamoto' or 'Bushido'.

A Culinary Masterpiece

This outstanding product, titled ‘Gokujō Osechi 2026’, is now available for pre-order online. Reflecting the theme of "Supporting Throat Recovery and Enjoying Abundant Meals", this curated culinary marvel promises an unforgettable dining experience. Each dish showcases Yamamoto's passion and dedication, ensuring that every bite conveys the depth of flavor and tradition.

Supervised by a Culinary Legend

Yamamoto's culinary journey is nothing short of impressive. With over 15 years of experience in the kitchen, he has become a household name in the competitive eating scene. Graduating from the Kyoto Culinary School, he fell in love with cooking and the art of preparing delicious meals since childhood. Yamamoto's journey includes training at the renowned Hilton Osaka's traditional Japanese restaurant, followed by enriching experiences in various gastronomic styles, including curry, ramen, Asian cuisine, Italian, and French.

In February 2017, he opened his own establishment, 'Natural Style Creative Washoku Waen', though it closed in 2020. Today, he balances his passion for cooking with his role as a competitive eating entertainer. His YouTube channel, 'Samurai Food Drifter', creatively mixes comedy with food exploration, providing audiences a taste of Japan’s diverse culinary landscape through the eyes of a modern-day warrior.
