About the Event
The
King of Bite 2025 Autumn event, themed "Beyond the Limits: Reducing Food Waste with the Power of Eating," promises to be bigger and more thrilling than ever. After making a significant impact in its inaugural event in Kawasaki and with an even grander sequel in Shimokitazawa, this third installment will surely leave an impression. The event aims not only to provide entertainment but to also raise awareness of Japan's food culture while tackling the severe issue of food waste.
KNOCK aims to create a world filled with joy through the fusion of food and entertainment. The event will spotlight various dishes made from surplus or imperfect vegetables to help reduce waste and shift perceptions about such produce.
A Showdown to Remember
King of Bite athletes, known as "eating champions," will gather to battle it out in four intense matches. This year, we expect over
23 participants, including popular influencers and additional renowned figures in the competitive eating realm. Each match will feature unique recipes that utilize non-standard produce, further paving the way for our goal to eliminate
one ton of food waste during the event.

Engaging the Community
In partnership with
Frifull, a company dedicated to reducing food waste, we will collect
one ton of surplus vegetables from farmers nationwide. The goal is to use these unconventional yet delicious ingredients to produce spectacular dishes that will excite contestants and attendees alike.
