Akinomaki 40,790 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 18 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 40,790 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 1,276 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...

Akinomaki 40,790 Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Yeah, posted in the old thread 21 hours ago, Kintamayama said: ex- Chiyotairyuu opened a yakiniku restaurant in Roppongi on January 16th. Meatland is the name. The official opening was held today. "I'd like retired rikishi to come work for me while learning the ropes, and then to go back home and open a franchise. I want this to become a chain that would benefit the guys and myself." he said. In the meantime he has hired a Japanese chef (Mr. Nakamura) who has worked in France, and is working on a "French Yakiniku" dish. "I hope to change chefs every now and then and maintain a refreshed menu.." he explained. He prepared a suit and a tie for the opening but left the suitcase on the train, so he showed up in a tracksuit for the grand opening, apologizing with that charming smile that we love so much. "I'd like the price of a large yakiniku dish to be around 2-3000 yen, so that everyone can enjoy it," he summed. I post the pics&more here He lost 15kg since retiring o o o o o the only course on the menu costs 15 000Yen oo With "rump on the toast" o and nikrepe - meat and crepe oo o and roast yukhoe o Edited February 8, 2023 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,790 Posted February 20, 2023 Off-topic - not a former rikishi, a former heya in the food business. The old Kokonoe-beya reopened as chanko Chiyonofuji today, run by the family. With an ozeki and a yokozuna course menu and a la carte, also Chiyonofuji brand sake. Plenty of Chiyonofuji items on display, o o o o o o o o o 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
