Full description

This Asakusa show brings you close to sumo in a relaxed dinner-theatre setting built around a genuine clay ring. It opens with a traditional dance, then former professional wrestlers walk you through their warm-up routines, key techniques and the etiquette of the sport, before a best-of-three match.

During the show you eat chanko nabe, the chicken hot pot that wrestlers eat to build strength. Some guests are invited into the ring to try their luck against a wrestler, and everyone takes home a framed group photo.
