The article really did refer to Takakeisho as 'reigning champion' though: A major sumo wrestling tournament in Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan stadium will feature salt from Shark Bay in Western Australia. This salt, known for its purity, will be used in the ceremonial cleansing of the sumo ring before matches. Reigning sumo champion Takakeisho Takanobu, sponsored by the Mitsui company that extracts Shark Bay Salt, wears an apron displaying the Shark Bay Salt and Ako's Aamashio brands. The partnership has been successful, coinciding with a $35.8 million profit for Mitsui. Salt is becoming a trendy investment, with major deals and projects in Australia reflecting its rising demand. Takakeisho, who has faced injuries this year, will compete again in September. Edited September 3 by Godango 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
