What chanko nabe is
Chanko nabe is a hearty, protein-rich hot pot, the meal sumo wrestlers eat during training to build strength; most of the dinner shows serve a chicken version. At SUMOLAND in Ryogoku the flavour is supervised by wrestlers from a real stable, and the Tokyo Sumo Room show calls its chanko the real fuel of the sumo world, not a themed dish.
Asakusa: the full evening
The Asakusa Sumo Club opens with a traditional dance by geisha in kimono, then demonstrations of the morning exercises and the classic techniques, then a best-of-three match between retired professionals, with a moderator commenting in English and Japanese. A few guests are drawn to challenge a wrestler. The meal runs through the show, and you go home with a printed photo and a souvenir set. Standard seats are at the main store or the Annex behind it; VIP and VVIP seats are at the main store, closest to the ring. Gluten-free and halal meals are not available, but you may bring your own food. The Asakusa show’s page has the details.

Ryogoku: Tokyo Sumo Room and SUMOLAND
Tokyo Sumo Room is held inside a former sumo stable a few minutes from the Ryogoku area and run by the former top-division wrestler Tokitsuumi. Check the time before you book: the chanko hot pot comes with the 11am and 7pm shows only; the 8:30am and 3pm shows have no meal.
SUMOLAND seats you around the ring for the bouts, then puts you on the ring to try sumo yourself and to pound mochi with the wrestlers for dessert. Seats are assigned by the venue, and it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Sukiyaki, kaiseki or Tokyo Tower
The sukiyaki show serves a wagyu sukiyaki bento with the chanko and a matcha dessert, with more food and drink on its Business and First Class seats; the restaurant has stairs and is not wheelchair accessible. The Ginza kaiseki show has the widest choice of special menus but no free cancellation. At Tokyo Tower, on the fifth floor of Foot Town, the sumo show comes with oiran dancers, a lion dance and classical instruments, four times a day.
