Discover the sumo spirit less than 30 minutes from central Tokyo! Shizuka journeys to Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka, a restaurant with a sumo ring, for a dining experience like no other.
Shizuka takes a ringside seat to fuel up like the sumo wrestlers do. She feasts on Chanko Nabe and Tonkatsu before making friends with some fellow diners. As they’re chatting away about all things sumo, the stars of the show enter the ring! Two retired sumo wrestlers begin to battle as Shizuka cheers them on.
Next up, it’s Shizuka’s turn to enter the ring. She (sumo) suits up and puts her game face on as she spars with a former sumo wrestler. After bowing out, she takes a seat as Eli, our mighty producer, takes a turn! Once the battles are over, Shizuka gets a change to interview one of the sumo wrestlers of Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka.

Being a Sumo wrestler just doesn't seem to be your fate.

Lil Shizzy prodding this mountain of a man was too funny 😀 Also the couple you met seemed super wholesome. Thank you for another fun Video!
Yet another wonderful video, I really love watching sumo wrestling, so it was interesting to learn about their diet. It was also pretty funny watching you in the ring, that sumo wrestler stood no chance against you.

Shizuka, as far as your sumo talent is concerned, please stick to your day job! LOL! But seriously, what an interesting concept! Next time I visit Tokyo, I will have to look up this place!
recently saw the netflix drama about sumo, it was eye opening to see how intense the culture and training are. it's almost brutal
Wow! When I'm just a little kid. I dream of watching a real live action… Fights of a SoMo wrestler … But I see it on movie, you tube.. I wish I could watch a real one!?….
