The sumo wrestlers introduced their daily training menu and showed simulated games to the participants. The international students were excited to see the games and enjoyed taking pictures. Some of them stepped onto the sumo ring and experienced sumo training with the sumo club members. The participants could learn sumo action and culture. After experiencing Sumo wrestling, they tasted sumo wrestler’s original hot pod dish, Chankonabe. The participants enjoyed the dishes and conversation with the Sumo club members.
