Sometimes for the larger scale creations, only the bottom tier will be actual cake (to be visibly cut by the couple). The upper tiers will be polystyrene blocks that have been frosted for a pretty display and in the kitchen there will be a whole bunch of 'sheet cakes' frosted the same colour to actually be cut and served to the guests (after the display cake has been wheeled out to be 'cut').

Akinomaki 31,366 Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) A bit off-topic, but do we really need an "Another oyakata marriage" thread? Ex-Tamanoshima (Hanaregoma-oyakata, 41) had his wedding ceremony and reception today, with nailist Michiko (undisclosed age). They met last year at a dinner party during the Golden Week and had registered the marriage in February.. About 200 guests, among them same ichimon Shibatayama and Araiso (who will get an extra thread when he'll move closer to marriage). http://www.sankei.com/sports/news/190615/spo1906150043-n1.html Edited June 15, 2019 by Akinomaki 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 31,366 Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Hokutofuji (27) had his engagement press conference at the heya today - his fiancee is Manami Nakayama (31) from Osaka. They met at his sumo debut basho Osaka 2015, she asked for a photo - and then by chance 2 months later near Hakkaku-beya before the Natsu basho, after asageiko, she had watched it at Nishikido-beya. She moved to Tokyo one year ago and works at a patent office. They plan to register the marriage in January and have the reception in June. He gave her a kinboshi as birthday present: it was on day 1 of the Aki basho - he had proposed to her 4 days before after they watched a performance of "Lion King" - for the 6th or 7th (Nikkan) time together.

Akinomaki 31,366 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) It has become known that Endo had married in May and with that has started to live outside the heya. His wife is an ordinary, thus so far anonymous member of the public. He didn't tell the so called related local people, and also the date for the wedding reception is not yet fixed. https://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20191011/sum19101105050003-n1.html Edited October 10, 2019 by Akinomaki 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 31,366 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) @mods - could you please move the Endo posts to a separate thread "Endo has married" Endo of course got interviewed at the jungyo about his marriage: He plans to have no ceremony and no reception. Asked about his wife the usual: age, occupation, how long together? "She's an ordinary member of the public, so I think it's not necessary to answer to that." "I'm no celebrity. A rikishi simply should show the fans his how he gambarizes on the dohyo." o o Edited October 11, 2019 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"She's an ordinary member of the public, so I think it's not necessary to answer to that." The media of course won't stop asking others till they know. His local paper already has some more - by interviewing his father and the koenkai top who knew already. Endo in May told it to the head of his local koenkai, the Anamizu town mayor, and asked him to keep it a secret for a while. She works in medical care, a friend had introduced them. Since he's married he had a 10-5 with ginou-sho and his first kachi-koshi in sanyaku. http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=12055 http://www.hokkoku.co.jp/subpage/E20191011001.htm Edited October 11, 2019 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who is to say that Araiso will not go solo like Oitekaze-oyakata all this time? methink that Enho, Mitakeumi & Takakeisho’s casual fanbase (looking at Twitterverse and Kokugikan’s flag wavers) can rival Endo.

sumojoann 850 Posted October 12, 2019 I seem to recall an interview a couple of years ago where Araiso (then Kisenosato) was asked, "Have you given any thought to getting married?"
