Founded by a retired sumo wrestler, this intimate Arakicho eatery specializes in chanko nabe, the nourishing hot pot laden with meat, tofu, and fresh vegetables that has sustained fighters for centuries. Guests can choose from multiple flavorful broth styles, including savory salt-based soups and a deeply comforting curry broth bubbling directly at the table. Now run by the founder's family, the restaurant offers an authentic taste of sumo culinary culture in a cozy, unpretentious setting. Before heading out, take a look at the decorative kumade rake hanging overhead, hung to rake in good luck and prosperity.
