The winner of each batch was determined by the number of bowls and the weight left on their last bowl before they were able to proceed to the Ultimate Ramen Eating Face Off.

On the face-off round, Hakata Ikkousha Manila learned that the finalists were both social media influencers. The winner of the first batch is a blogger, Michael Zuñiga of Katooga.ph and the winner of the second batch is Lord Ancheta of Hour Philippines TV.

 For the face-off round, whoever is the fastest to finish his bowl will get the title of Ultimate Ramen Champion. The kitchen challenged the social media influencers to take on Ikkousha’s God Fire Ramen (spicy ramen).


Congratulations to the 1st Hakata Ikkousha’s Ultimate Ramen Champion, Mr. Lord Ancheta. The winner took home P 5,000 cash and P10, 000 worth of dining gift certificates. All participants received P1, 000 gift certificates as tokens of appreciation.
