Chanko-pot is peculiar food for Sumo wrestler, and also referred to as a stew like dish traditionally served to Sumo wrestler or one pot dish containing vegetables and big chunks of meats or so on...

In a nutshell, it is eaten in Sumo wrestler stable which madam and a couple of disciples prepare to make their bodies strong and tough.

They can eat this pot in order of ranking of Sumo tournament in their stable.

After retirement, sumo wrestlers start to run Chanko-pot restaurants.

The pot is full of vegetables, meats, fish and tofu to build up their bodies.

You can enjoy it in some price near Kokugi-kan, Ryogoku or Kinshi-cho area.

Tastes are based on soy sauce or miso.

There may be curry or kimchi taste, I suppose.
