Phenomenal fun! Very well organised. Irish host was spectacular and made the whole thing informative and very very enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Fantastic food and experience! The matchup was a bit of action and a bit of entertainment. The food was delicious, and the all-you-can-eat part was particularly nice.

What a fabulous experience for all ages. Very informative & lots of fun too with audience participation . The guide who was presenting was Irish (apologies can’t remember ur name) & brilliant explaining all about the history of Sumo. The two wrestlers were great fun & very strong. Also a Geisha girl performed a beautiful dance. We were given a meal & free drink before the performance. Do not miss this experience well worth the money & such fun too 👍

Wasn't sure what to expect. They made it informational and funny at the same time. Made us want to see a real sumo match. Totally enjoyable!

Semi cute show, what there was of it. The description says it’s a 2 hour activity limited to 10 people, with a sumo show and food cooked by sumo wrestlers. There were between 60-80 people. There were mostly breaks, and then 8 people got to challenge the wrestlers. We saw one sumo match, lasted about 3 minutes. You order your drinks and food refills on an app, so be sure you have a phone with internet. Cannot get a drink without it. They ended 40 minutes early for everyone to get in line for a picture and to checkout. They tried to charge every single person in line for extra drinks. I had nothing, they tried to charge me for 3 drinks. I watched almost everyone dispute the charges. Came off as a real scam. They also asked for tips.
