Due to the aging of the pot, it ended in 2007 (Heisei 19), but there used to be an event where a hot pot dish was made and served, using 300 kilograms of pork, 870 daikons, 300 kilograms of green onions, and 5,000 liters of water, seasoned with miso. With one serving being 200 cc, that's about 2,500 servings of the dish!

To ensure that no harm would come to the villagers, he ate "using stones as a tray" some distance away from the house.

The event called "Japan's Best Sukuna Hot Pot" was held in remembrance of such a "thoughtful toward the locals" Sukuna.
