We are still in Ryogoku, which means Sumo-land, so for lunch in Sumo-land, what else is there but chanko nabe! What is chanko nabe? It is a one-pot meal filled with vegetables and meat (sometimes fish), served in a broth. Very delicious. Great for cold weather. We chose a restaurant right near the rail station called [Oedo Happyaku Yacho].
まだ両国に居ます。両国と言えば相撲。飯の時間になりまして、相撲と言えばちゃんこ鍋。両国には数多くのちゃんこ鍋の店があります。私たちが選んだのは駅の近くにある「大江戸八百八町」。ちゃんこ鍋は冬にもってこい料理だ。
Check this out, a huge Sumo ring built in the middle of the restaurant.
見て、店の真ん中に相撲の土俵がある。
Nice chopstick package / お箸入れの袋可愛い
Before digging into our nabe, its beer time. The miso soup was delicious too.
鍋を食べる前に一杯のビール。味噌汁も美味しい。

Grin! He's already updating more frequently. ^^
Were the portions relatively small? Coz that's a lot of food!
Now for something that has nothing to do with this post, but I think - as a bookworm - you'll enjoy this blog.
