Next to our hotel in Ryogoku is Japan's largest Sumo arena. So, what could be more fitting than dedicating some time to these 2m-tall and 200kg-heavy Japanese athletes?
Apart from the fact that the sight is anything but beautiful or aesthetic, the sport seems exciting and ritualistic for Japanese people, and the protagonists are revered like Ronaldo and Neymar are here.
For sustenance, there are so-called Chankos, which the Sumo wrestlers traditionally prepare themselves.
Chanko is ultimately a rich stew - extremely delicious and well-seasoned. Attached are pictures from the Edosawa restaurant.
