Sumo fans visiting Tokyo have a new attraction to add to their itinerary. Opening January 7 is a 150-seat show restaurant that brings together Japan’s national sport, sumo, and traditional kaiseki cuisine.
The Sumo Live restaurant, located in Ginza, features a full-size sumo-ring stage, where wrestlers will perform demonstration bouts for diners.
The opening follows a successive launch of the novel dining concept in Namba, Osaka.

Fancy a go yourself? There’s also the option for audience members to step into the ring and face a wrestler. We’re promised a dynamic multimedia show, presented entirely in English, with immersive sound, lighting, and video effects.
The menu will include chanko nabe, the sumo wrestlers’ staple hot pot, along with tempura rice bowls.
There’s also a sake bar, ‘Nada no Sake THE Bar,’ which stocks a selection of fine sake from Nada, one of Japan’s leading sake-producing areas.
UK interest in Sumo is at a high, following the sport’s return to London for a five‑day Grand Sumo Tournament at the Royal Albert Hall, in October 2025. The event marked the first official sumo tournament held outside Japan since the last London basho in 1991, also at the Royal Albert Hall.
It was only the second time in the sport’s 1,500‑year history that a multi‑day basho was staged outside Japan.
Ticket prices for the Sumo Live restaurant start at 17,000 Yen. Reservations are required. To book, click here.
