Ichi kaku 一角 Japanese restaurant, known for its selection of Japanese street food, yummy imported desserts and most importantly, its in house made ramen is bringing back its Ramen eating contest following a successful inaugural event that took place in August of last year.

This year, a new round of five competitors will be going bowl to bowl to see who can eat the most of a seven pound bowl Tonkotsu Ramen (with the soup) and be crowned the champion.
The event will take place Saturday, Nov. 30 at the restaurant located at 350 N. Eastern Blvd in Fayetteville.
