【An Invitation from Sumo Wrestlers】Beautiful stories from far away From Japan
2025-11-15 | TOSHI

■Tatsunami Stable’s official YouTube channel
Following on from the last two episodes, this episode is about sumo wrestlers.
I introduced Hoshoryu(豊昇龍), the Mongolian-born Yokozuna (highest-ranking sumo wrestler). He’s the man who fed Yokozuna Onosato hot dogs in London.
Hoshoryu won the Grand Sumo tournament in London.
His stable (where sumo wrestlers live, eat, and train) is called Tatsunami Stable.
I watched Tatsunami Stable’s official YouTube channel and found it fascinating, so I’ll share the link.

Hoshoryu didn’t appear this time, but it was still entertaining.

First, we get to watch their sumo practice. I was supriised and though “wow, I did’nt know they practice like that!” It was my first time seeing it. It was so serious and impressive!
After that, it’s time to prepare the meal.

They live together, and sumo wrestlers called chanko-ban cook the food. (Cooking is generally done in shifts.)
I was surprised at how meticulously they cooked, even though they made a lot of food. They were meticulous in the way they cut vegetables and handled ingredients.
They chatted while cooking.

The highlight of the day’s menu was the melt-in-your-mouth chicken wings. It looked so delicious!
One day they even had kebabs. They really do eat high-quality food.
They also eat meals together, and their conversations continued during the meal.
They talked about their favorite foods, trips to the countryside, and their mothers. It was a friendly, heartwarming atmosphere.

■Chanko (the food sumo wrestlers eat) builds the body and fosters a sense of brotherhood
Since people from many different countries watch the show, wrestler say hello to fans in Korean.
According to Sakura, a former sumo wrestler and author of a recipe book for sumo wrestlers, whom I wrote about in my previous article,
Chanko (the food sumo wrestlers eat) builds the body and fosters a sense of brotherhood.

(His book was reprinted just two weeks after its release! The title of the book is 『元力士 櫻流 絶品ちゃんこ』櫻正行)

This strong sense of camaraderie is one of the great things about Japanese people. Japanese people can be conservative, but once you become friends with them, they’re incredibly kind.
I’ve only watched this channel three times so far. If you are interested and watch it too, you might be able to see the wrestlers’ growth and changes.
It’s like being invited into their room. The internet has its drawbacks, but I think it’s a great time to be able to watch such precious footage from home.

Apparently, some sumo stables allow you to watch practice sessions in-person.
At the time of writing, only supporters’ club members can visit Tatsunami stable, but it seems that some stables allow non-members to visit, so I thought I’d like to go. Seeing it live is apparently even more impressive.
