Akinomaki 37,406 Posted September 27, 2018 The parents of Toyonoshima run a Tofu shop, and to pray for his return to sekitori, they kept selling their specialty "kachikoshi tofu". This Toyonoshima related tofu started 10 years ago, and his elder sister gave it the name. Kachikoshi is 8-7, and the price then was 87 yen. When Toyonoshima got a kachi-koshi in makuuchi, the locals bought the tofu in great quantities, up to 600 packs a day. But the sales went down with his drop to makushita and the makekoshi then - now a revival of that is expected as well. A pack of 320g is now sold for around 100yen at mainly local supermarkets. Toyonoshima wants to continue active sumo till the Tokyo Olympics. http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASL9T5669L9TPLPB00J.html his father with the kachikoshi tofu in momen variety - kinugoshi is available as well o 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 37,406 Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) The origin of the "Chanko nabe soup directly transmitted from Taiho" of Chiba based company Ishii Foods dates back to the late 1950s, when Taiho met with the about same age director. Then juryo Taiho was treated at a nearby hospital and when he got hungry he came to the cafeteria of the factory to eat there. He became close with the family and the workers, and that friendly relation stayed on when he was yokozuna. https://shop.directishii.net/lp/chanco/ The product is a joint development of Yachio-city based Ishii Foods and Tokyo, Koto ward based Taiho Planning ltd., with new (after her mother) managing director Mieko Naya, the 3rd daughter of Taiho and mother of Naya https://www.taiho-yokozuna.com/corp/index.html http://www.sankeibiz.jp/business/news/181213/bsl1812130500001-n2.htm Edited December 16, 2018 by Akinomaki 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eikokurai 3,419 Posted December 18, 2018 55 minutes ago, Otokonoyama said: This Twitter thread is not about a particular rikishi, but... There’s so much potential for sumo-themed perfumes. You’ve got the scent of the shitakubeya, the unwashed mawashi, the morning keigo, the chanko pot ... Most of these are probably better as insect repellents but it’s all in the branding and marketing these days. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
