Part of the France-Japan friendship prize I believe, guessing it's a styrofoam replica representing a certain amount of regular macarons (made by Pierre Hermé)... But Orion or John might know more about it!?? And just because it's a great thread I'll link it here again, explanation on the various prizes presented (from a few years back...) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would prefer to imagine that Hakuho has an entire room in his house furnished with zabuton in the shape of macarons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orandashoho 720 Posted March 10, 2017 I really liked that video. It had a catchy tune, pictures of rikishi having fun (especially Osunaarashi) and the complete list of the tme. Pity I hadn't grabbed and saved it. I like this one too... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
