When I saw the Waka bros sitting together in the beginning, I instantly smiled ear to ear.

[@revdupartist9386]

Me too. It’s good to see them together.

[@TheKingROMEOIII]

Chicken Prime Time was HILARIOUS!

[@sampelletier5083]

So that’s the man responsible for the glorious traps of the waka bros

[@dumevision4573]

😂

[@govols1995]

Him and their steroid dealers.

[@ProfGlitch]

@@govols1995 yep, what morita didnt show was the vial of the good stuff poured into the pot before serving

[@AlexJones0316]

RIP Akebono

[@richevans609]

Too much Chanko?

[@Janka007]

It was so nice to see how much effort the chef makes to provide great food for the sumo wrestlers. The love for his profession and the love for the rikishi! I live 15 minutes away from Arashio beya, so it was extra interesting for me to peep inside and see what we can't see from outside. I'd love to go there for lunch every day! :D

[@MarquePierreSondergaard]

The best Sumo Prime Time video so far! I loved seeing Wakatakakage and his brothers participating.

[@kamisori49]

2:36 CHICKEN Prime Time 🤣🤣🤣

[@jasonBGI]

RIP Akebono 🙏🏿👏🏿

[@wesman808]

Hello Sumo Prime Time, love your channel! Please do a video dedicated to beloved Hawaiian Yokozuna, Akebono.

[@mxes5938]

LET'S CHANKO!

[@SpoonThief]

Always love to see a new Sumo Prime Time upload!

[@heathmcrigsby]

Futagoyama channel really influencing Sumo outside of Japan. Great vid inspired by their channel.

[@KittyCottonSocks]

Thank you Hiro for another video and all your hard work!!

[@Tradewindsvintagehi]

I love seeing all three of the Waka brothers❤️❤️❤️

[@designed5]

Thank you for making quality Sumo content!

[@85Vindicare]

I`m a big fan of sumo, the Waka brothers and Chanko-Nabe. So this was the perfect video for me. Thanks for the great content Hiro! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@spider-queen]

this is so fun! thank you for sharing so much about the cooking, it's been great watching the sumo food channel lately

[@LucidFlameX]

Uchiumi-san is a hell of a cook and quite the charmer. Has a nice smile. Nice to see the Waka bros as well.

[@kv5372]

Thanks for the in depth coverage as always! Ill definitely be trying out this recipe at home 😊

[@mrcm7063]

I visited the Iseinoumi Beya on two occasions. Once in 2007 and again in 2017. Both time the chankonabe was fantastic. I love the channel.

[@tellket]

❤ thank you for the post.

[@williamcaton8432]

Great video today! Thank you!

[@scottgordon8902]

Great video Hiro!!! Thank you for keeping us westerners informed inspite of the JSA and NHK.

[@stanislavkindiakov6334]

Warning! Don‘t watch while hungry! 😅

[@Gedagnors]

You have a wonderful channel! Thank you so much for showing us very interesting culture!!! Wish you all the best!!!

[@throeawae2130]

great episode. thank you to all the sumo wrestlers for trying to engage with us english speakers

[@aaronlopez492]

Years ago i made some Chanko and it's very tasty and satisfying but and yes you will put on the weight. 👍🇯🇵

[@AFVET74]

Nice to see Wakamotoharu and Wakatagakage together. Looking forward to seeing Wakatakakage in an upcoming tournament.

[@wilkothewilkoman]

Loved "Chicken Prime Time". 😂 Enjoy these videos a lot, more from Hiro and more Rikishi and the guys around them please. GO ATAMIFUJI!!!

[@argentiteavian3861]

Go Wakamotoharu!!! He is one of my favorite Rikishi and I will always cheer him on from the United States! Do your best!!

[@ippaku]

One of my favorite group of wrestlers love the interaction and the ending was awesome. Can’t wait for the May tournament and see what the waka brothers and stable will be able to do

[@Snowkitty1424]

I love how at the end, they all joined in! 😍😍😍

[@sry4gotmyusername]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been wanting to have a chankonabe recipe from a beya but they only do it in japanese. I will try Arasio beya's recipe for next basho!

[@MrGoombasticveryFantastic]

After watching so many Futogoyama videos I am dying to taste Chanko

[@paulreed6976]

HIRO! Where is the AKEBONO tribute video? Dropping the ball, mate!

[@rosewalsh1255]

Now I am properly prepared to try & cook chanko nabe....ingredients; seasonings, how & what order to cook and add each ingredient...I am excited to try it. As noted, it is delicious; nutritious...beneficial to wrestlers and essential to a women's beauty. The biggest challenges will be gathering all the correct ingredients and making chanko nabe in a smaller batch ( for one or two people...fresh is always best ). This was A fun & well presented video. I enjoyed it and learned how to cook this correctly. Thanks to the chef; the wrestlers & the host!

[@Rsama60]

Now I'm hungry. Trauning, eating, sleeping. I perfected two of the categries, still need to work on the third one. Guess which? 😂

[@MyselfTheThird]

Yeah, I have a hard time sleeping, too.

[@quetzals]

That was a very delicious video

[@Pleasant-but-Enigmatic]

Awww, team Wakabros🤗🥰. Anyway, I love seeing the Chanko Nabe process! The stewing noise is so oddly satisfying😅. ✊Go Chicken Prime Time🤣!

[@MalinSumoFox]

Like this too , Hiro 👌 do one from wrestlers favorit out fits . Free time .teeshirt and onepeaces😂

[@freifechterbasel6115]

I wonder how much rice one eats with Chanko Nabe. It doesn't seem to have a lot of calories with mostly vegetables and some pork. Or did I miss something?

[@LesusJizard]

Tons of rice.

[@TheScandinavianOne]

I eat Chanko alot and at least in my case there is quite a bit of calories in it with all the broth, meat and fat from both that and the marrow. But the most Important thing about it isn't the calories themselves but the nutrients in the stew itself. All those vitamins and minerals need replacing after the intense training, Chanko covers pretty much all of it. :)

[@ericdietz1795]

One book or another said that it would actually be good for dieters. The thing is how *much* they eat of it--and then everything else...

[@binkle1757]

When Wakatakakage says, "Yummy!"

[@glemmstengal]

I've made this at home several times. It is as good as it looks.

[@rssla4537]

would love to try to cook it at home! looks delicious 😊

[@clintonlindsey4391]

I want to try this!

[@Voztec]

Great!

[@CaptainCapital8]

Chankonabe is super delicious stuff. Very protein rich with udon noodles.

[@LauraJdogmom]

I wonder--is it common for a heya to engage a professional cook? I was under the impression that most cooking is done by the rikishi under the leadership of an older rikishi. Also, it's cool that the tokoyama pitches in. I guess he can't do hair while everyone is training.

[@eduardocarbajal8113]

molto divertente questo video!!

Need some Chanko in the states!!

thank you. My first Taiga fulfilled everything for me.

I'm SO HAPPY👍

[@jonathanpanlaqui1855]

Hi Hiro-san, chankonabe is the sumo wrestlers' favorite hot pot with chicken as its main ingredient along with vegetables and cooked in a seasoned dashi stock. Greetings from the Philippines.

[@urekah37]

Looks delicious 😋

I would love to cook for a sumo stable. amazing honor and responsibility.

[@paulreed6976]

How many freezers? We need to know!!!

[@wifferstess2824]

Not only do they eat chankonabe, watch the Sumo Eats channel and they also gorge on other foods outside mealtimes. But what's nice about chanko is anyone making it can add whatever they want. There is no set recipe. I'm eating mine as I watch this. :)

[@youremakingprogress144]

I wonder what kind of side dishes they usually eat!

[@pitgroove.37_66]

I don't know if you heard, but the great akebono just passed away 😢

The food prepared in the stable is fresh and delicious, however I don’t think the food is as good on the road for them.

[@davidlopez-un9zp]

akebono tarō passed away

[@deadzerox7972]

I really appreciate what the JSA is doing to introduce foreigner fans tot he world of sumo, however I hope and I pray that what they are doing today in the recent sumo issue is done purely for disciplinary and not political/emotional issues. What they did to a certain oyakata is really not comparable to what other oyakatas received as a disciplinary measure. I hope this will not alienate other foreigner fans

[@user-kd1oh4vv9k]

AmazingとWonderfulの方、頭髪がヤバいっスね❓髷が結えなければ、強制引退ですか❓

[@zenmindgreenthumbful]

seems like I see many Japanese people who wear the face mask under the mouth, like a chin strap. What is the point of doing this? At that point it becomes completely nonsensical

[@ericdietz1795]

It happens everywhere, and ticks me off something awful. If you really think you don't need one, don't wear it--but amazingly many adults can't seem to figure out where their mouths and noses are...

[@alanmurphy8697]

No word of Miyagino closure lol, this is like a state controlled media channel

[@joannaedwards6325]

YUP all happy propaganda Booooo 😝😝😝

[@LauraJdogmom]

Well, it kind of is a state (or in this case JSA) controlled media channel. It's also not a sumo news channel so much as a sumo features channel. Anyway, everyone else and his brother has covered the Miyagino story. What do you think Hiro et al. would add to it?.

[@alanmurphy8697]

@@LauraJdogmom It's a good point you make, it isn't a sumo news channel. I just feel like if they're going out of their way themselves to curate ENG speaking content then go the whole hog. Very happy to see the Waka bro's eating Chanko and all of that but I'd love to get bi weekly videos covering all the storylines and current affairs, stable news etc etc. The videos feel like they are aimed at tourists watching sumo for the first time. I'd say a large portion of the people here are from Natto etc. and have been following sumo for years

[@woainileexiaojie]

Hello Hiro, wondering why you have not posted anything about the scandal with the former Yokozuna Hakuho and his protégée. If you are going to tell us about Sumo please keep us updated with everything. Don't sanatize the sport. You have lost me as fan of your channel.

[@joannaedwards6325]

Same here Bye bye Hiro

[@AlexejSvirid]

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

[@the_Texas_Bandit]

I'm going to throw out the obvious, but I firmly believe Chunkonabe is probably ruining the modern rickishi. Too many calories, just to put weight on already beefy athletes. If your weight is your greatest sumo asset, then perhaps you are not receiving the correct training. The rest of the world athletes have moved on to a modern balance nutrition, but the cultural stigma of following a 200 year old tradition is not in the best interest of the stable. Burning up calories is one thing, building muscle, grace, and skill, along with balanced training, is probably the best.

[@Benjamin_Kraft]

Of all the issues of current Sumo that is holding the sport back, chanko nabe seems to be the least of those issues. Not an issue at all I'd argue. Now, if you're simply meaning that they eat to much and that too much of the extra weight rikishis put on is effectively dead-weight that don't assist them in the sport, then I might agree, Sumo would maybe do well to reevaluate what kind of bodies their rikishis should aim for. However, chanko nade, the actual dish, has no issues in its most common forms. The nutritional value is tremendous, lots of different fresh vegetables and meat in a nice broth. As a guy who's been training for lots of years and know a little bit about healthy eating, I wish I had the time to make and eat chanko nabe as a staple food. The only issue with chanko nabe is that rikishis eat enormous amounts of it along with enormous amounts of white rice. But the dish itself I see no issues with. I think we should focus on the actual issues, like the restrictive and intimidating stable-system that discourages young men to try professional Sumo, bad prevention and treatment/recovery of ringside injuries, the semi-regular bullying scandals, as well as the leadership being too old-fashioned and at times criminally unfair (the treatment of Miyagino/ex-Hakuho in the wake of Hokuseihos bullying is disproportionate and clearly not the same treatment they'd have given any other Oyakata). Not that the JSA would care what any foreign sumo-fans think, but anyway...

[@the_Texas_Bandit]

@@Benjamin_Kraft I agree with the other problems that are far more improvable. However, the subject is Chunkonabe. I read a recent article on our recent Basho winner. His Oyakata made the modest statement that he is an upcoming talent, and that with more experience he should rise quickly. He followed up the statement that he needed to gain an additional 40 kilos to stay competative. ?? 50lbs, to stay competative ? The kid has a fantastic body form, albeit a little thin in the lower body, but putting 50lbs on this kid will slow him down so much. I don't see it. If the rest of the worlds athletes , and as an exfootball player, I can tell you that western coaches would have a stroke if you put on weight thru fat, and not mass thru muscle. I love the sport, king of the hill we called it in Texas.

[@Benjamin_Kraft]

@@the_Texas_Bandit On that matter we are in agreement, I find it very strange that they don't look to the likes of Hakuho, Chiyonofuji and Futabayama who all of them didn't have a huge amount of body mass (for a rikishi) and still are among the most legendary rikishis of all time. Still, I think cutting down the chanko nabe (and rice) down to a more reasonable calorie intake per day is the thing required in that case, not switching out the dish itself. But I see what you mean, and am in agreement.

[@NobleCaveman]

Some olympic weightlifting and strength building exercises like sled push added in to their training regimen would undoubtedly go a long way

[@LauraJdogmom]

@@NobleCaveman They already sled-push. That's basically what butsukari is, except the "sled" is actively resisting.
