She took part in a conspiracy of food store owners ahead of a glutton competition to prevent Chōji Akimichi from winning. At this time, the candles went out and the old woman panics, but Ayame turned on the light and asked her what she was going to do, since it was her shop that presented the prize to the winner of the competition.
Later, she supplied dishes to the contestants and colluded with Kui and Daore Dōtonbori, as she feared bankruptcy. In the finale, Dotonbori's father and son were brought out shallow bowls, while Chōji and Chōchō Akimichi were given deep bowls, which made them lag behind in eating speed. At this time, Boruto Uzumaki, hungry, searched for food and accidentally discovered a deception. The old woman began to get angry, seeing how the support of her daughter gave Chōji the strength to eat more and more. She used her secret technique and fills the entire championship arena with sticky mochi. Rock Lee and Metal Lee tried to destroy the mochi, but their taijutsu failed. Chōji, growing in size, ate all the mochi, while Boruto exposed the old woman and she repented. The Akimichi family won the competition. Consequently, she was forced to give Chōji Akimichi a certificate for endless sweet bean jam, and Sai noted that this is much worse than being in prison.
