Akinomaki 34,252 Posted January 28, 2021 On 03/11/2017 at 16:49, Akinomaki said: The 37th Shonosuke on Oct. 25th held a lecture in HigashiMatsushima-city about his 50 years in sumo: "The dream is: Being on the dohyo with a Japanese yokozuna". Invited by his 3 year Takashima-beya sempai, former ms Haginoi, who runs Chanko Haginoi in the city. Ex-Haginoi (right) had made his Chanko Haginoi an incorporated limited company in 1974 and now uses a cloud funding platform to preserve his nori udon and bring it to the whole country. Nori udon in Miyagi pref. is a symbol of recovery from the great 2011 earthquake. o 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saburo 15 Posted June 18, 2021 The dean of yakitori chefs here in Honolulu was a ex-rikishi in Takasago Beya in the 1980s, Tsurumifuji. Never made it past Sandame but what a life in Hawaii. His omakase restaurant is still kicking it after all the pandemic shutdowns the last year and change. I read a quote from Konishiki years ago, saying he was small but tougher than nails.

Akinomaki 34,252 Posted October 25, 2021 The chanko restaurant "Yagura-daiko" 「やぐら太鼓」in Chichibu city is run by ex-Tamakiyama and his wife. Shikona trivia: easy to mix up with Takamiyama - and both were active from 1964 till 1984 - and there was another Tamakiyama active at the same time, same reading, different kanji for ki. On intai after Haru 1984 he became Kitajin-oyakata for 4 years and about 35 years ago opened a chanko restaurant in Chichibu, where his wife is from. She is presented in the article http://chichibu.keizai.biz/headline/124/, behind her the poster for the intai-zumo of Tamakiyama o oo o 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsuchinoninjin 972 Posted October 28, 2021 Ex-Konishiki and Ex-Oga (6 basho juryo, ex-bow twirler) team up to develop instant chanko called Cup Chanko. Right now they are using a kickstarter-like site to raise 1.5M Yen to launch the product I guess. https://camp-fire.jp/projects/507195/preview?token=1k2729i3 You put the blocks in a coffee mug and add hot water... I can't say its something that makes my mouth water, but best of luck to them. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
