Hana no Mai
A lively izakaya with an actual sumo ring in the middle, where you can immerse yourself in the culture of the sport with great food and alcohol.
Restaurant Details
Have you 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 for a single evening at this fantastic sumo-themed izakaya. Located in Ryogoku, part of Tokyo’s historic east side and the epicenter of sumo culture, this restaurant has a genuine sumo dohyo ring 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 lively as ever.
The menu has a sumo theme running through it too. You 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 are also a wide range of izakaya favorites and Western dishes on offer too.
