Chankonabe Hot Pot Experience with the Sumo Wrestlers of the Naruto Beya Sumo Stable
The Naruto Beya sumo stable is close to TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN. A tour, priced at ¥11,000 per person, gives visitors a chance to eat chankonabe (Sumo hot pot stew) together with wrestlers, who have finished their daily practice. The tour includes explanations by currently-active wrestlers regarding the history and rules of Japan's national sport, which dates back more than 1500 years. Since different sumo stables and wrestlers produce chankonabe according to different recipes, the precise flavor of the stew changes daily.
