Preparations of the Y/O - Haru 2022
The Fat Cyclist replied to Kintamayama's topic in Ozumo Discussions
I've had that too. I found a source of some really good arancini that had pine nuts in them & it was all good until I got a horrible taste in my mouth that made me think there was something badly wrong with my teeth. Someone mentioned that pine nuts could cause that & the taste went away when I stopped eating them. It was really unpleasant Back on topic. There doesnt seem to be that much chatter pre this basho, although I realise this is often the case with the events outside of Tokyo. -
If you follow the link I think the bag is best of a fun group of items.

Found this on Sora News today. https://soranews24.com/2022/01/26/sumo-salt-shaker-steals-the-show-in-new-range-of-japanese-wrestler-goods/

Thanks for that. I had gone looking for a recent photo of him & come up empty. He does look healthy & happy.

Noooooo!!! There goes my pick for the yusho! -
September (Aki) Basho- offical thread (yay..)
The Fat Cyclist replied to Kintamayama's topic in Honbasho Talk
I just watched that because of your comment. Ouch!!! -
Not at all surprised. I think they should have cancelled but I didn't think they would dare.
-
That's funny. If I were Tokushouryuu I'd send a good bottle of sake around.
-
You know that really wouldnt surprise me. I thought before his bout on day 1 that he had the look of someone who had had enough and would have much rather been somewhere else.
-
Exactly my point thanks. Look at this video & neither wrestler makes any real effort to get even close to the ground.
-
Watching some of his bouts on Youtube really shows that they were much more relaxed about the tachiai then. His hands dont even get close to the dohyo

If I remember correctly it's also a sort of security role to make sure that no one gets in the way of the rikishi and is traditionally the first job a retiree is given. Sort of a 'it doesnt matter who you were in the ring you start at the bottom again' thing
