Restaurant Details

Ever fancied being a sumo wrestler? The answer is likely no, but whatever the answer actually is, guests have the opportunity to sample the lifestyle of Japan's most powerful "rikishi" (Japanese for wrestler) in a single evening at this fantastic Edo-inspired izakaya. Located in Ryogoku, part of Tokyo’s historic east side and the epicenter of sumo culture, this restaurant has a genuine sumo ring, called dohyo, in the corner of the dining space.

In the past, it used to be common to have some form of entertainer enter the dohyo to play traditional music, perform traditional dance, or sing songs typically reserved for sumo tournaments. These performances are now less common — the restaurant now only occasionally hosts performances on Fridays — but the atmosphere is still as lively as ever.

The menu has a sumo theme running through it, too. Diners can enjoy the protein-rich stew typically used to bulk up these behemoth brawlers, named chanko nabe, and legendarily difficult to finish for its colossal size. There is also a wide range of izakaya light bites and Western dishes on offer, made with uber-fresh seafood delivered fresh from the market.

Prefer something more refined over a sumo-sized feast? Every month, the restaurant hosts an exclusive tuna live-cutting show. Settle into one of the serene private Japanese rooms, sip on sake, and savor the experience as time drifts effortlessly by.
