    Exceeded expectations on every level. The hospitality, the food, the drinks, the host, the sumo wrestlers, the staff, the tutorial, the practice… everything was top-notch. Don’t bother with any other sumo place - this one treats you like a VIP and you eat while learning, watching, and ultimately participating!
