00:00Oh
00:30Dad, let's pay.
00:34Later.
00:36Let's go somewhere!
00:39Later.
00:43Hey, you two, don't bother your father while he's working.
00:46Oh!
00:49How do you go through so much paper when you're typing on the computer?
00:54Well, if I print out my mistakes and then throw them out, at least I'll look like I'm working hard.
01:00I know I make this look far too easy.
01:04But you don't seem to be making all that much progress.
01:08I'm so glad you understand.
01:14Then let's go out somewhere and get some fresh air!
01:16It's better than creating piles of rubbish here, right?
01:19I mean, if you just sit around and eat, you'll get even fatter!
01:24Is it really so bad to be fat?
01:27Well, fat people aren't very mobile!
01:31Girls don't like fat guys either!
01:34Hmm.
01:36You're wrong.
01:37That's not the case.
01:39Especially here in Japan.
01:40It's a strange sight, isn't it?
01:42This is a traditional Japanese combat sport known as sumo.
01:46Those men are called rikishi.
01:47They eat loads of food to bulk themselves up.
01:48It's a dream.
01:49They get to sleep immediately after they eat.
01:50And you know...
01:51What's this?
01:52What's this?
01:53Why is everyone so fat?
01:54Why are they showing their bums?
01:55Why are they showing their bums?
01:56Why are they throwing salts?
01:57I mean they don't know!
01:58Right!
01:59And so I'm justfreak!
02:01Remember this?
02:02So, how about lifeiend?!

02:07Why did you14?
02:08Maybe that is in Japan!
02:10But he says, hey!
02:11How do you think they wereASE?!
02:13So, how do you only got中 with rikishi?
02:14And you know, women really love the Top Rikishi.
02:21Sumo!
02:23It is a clash of strategy and strength.
02:27It is Japan's ancient and traditional sport.
02:30Here is a general rundown of the rules.
02:33The match is held inside a circle called the Dohyo.
02:37Push your opponent out of the circle to win!
02:40Or knock your opponent down to win!
02:49I never can't even hear you.
02:52They look like walruses. Do they actually exist?
02:56Most of the Japanese people walking around outside are thin.
02:59Are you sure this isn't all just CGI?
03:02I know. I know what you mean.
03:06What do they eat to get so fat?
03:11It's chankanabe.
03:13What's that? What kind of food is it?
03:18Well, it's probably something fattening.
03:21Like ice cream?
03:22White chocolate.
03:26I'll admit, I'm curious about what they do eat.
03:31Alright.
03:32Let's go out.
03:33Yes!
03:35This is a Sumo Bear.
03:38Sumo Bear!
03:39Sumo Bear!
03:40The Rikishi's training stable.
03:42There are currently around 40 Sumo stables in Japan.
03:45Rikishi belong to each stable where they sleep, eat, and train together.
03:46Day and night, night and day.
03:48Do you think we're not working on this?
03:49Do you think the best?
03:50Do you think we're not working on this?
03:51This is a Sumo Bear!
03:52This is a Sumo Bear!
03:55Sumo Bear!
03:57The Rikishi's training stable!
04:00stable there are currently around 40 sumo stables in japan rikishi belong to each stable where they
04:07sleep eat and train together day and night night and day do you think they might let us look around
04:19without an appointment you've got to keep positive when you're out and about researching
04:30may i be of assistance my name's michael booth i'm a food writer i've come to find out a bit more
04:44about chenkon abbey and would like to uh use me pardon
04:51i'm sorry we don't allow anyone to look around without an appointment

05:03our eyes closed no i'm sorry
05:12see i knew it wouldn't work how are we going to get in
05:15what are you doing
05:23toshi it's me so sorry to bother you i'm outside a sumo stable right now
05:31yeah i'm going to need an appointment
05:35just give me two minutes
05:40you rang toshi
05:45michael i'm terribly sorry about that come in everyone
05:56who's this toshi guy he's amazing yeah
06:15this isn't cga
06:26these rikishi are very beautiful aren't they such imposing figures
06:33they're wonderful
06:39this must be your first time seeing sumo training what do you think
06:42well it's certainly nothing like watching it on the telly
06:47i thought all the rikishi were huge but some of them are quite small
06:53sumo really doesn't have any weight classes
06:56athletes compete with one another regardless of their build
06:59hey kid take a look at that guy
07:17wow did you see that he's like a bulldozer
07:20just being big doesn't mean you win
07:25sometimes even the smaller athlete knocks down his opponent
07:33sumo isn't just for japanese people
07:36lately there's been a string of mongolian yokozuna
07:39there have even been rikishi who are english like you
07:42allow me to introduce you this is taranzan from estonia
07:51hello nice to meet you
07:54how long have you lived in japan
07:56since i was 18.
07:59the culture shock must have been massive for someone that young
08:03yes at first i didn't like the food
08:05i'm used to it now
08:17as he and i talked he told me about his struggles
08:22the world of sumo is still full of ancient traditions
08:26all i saw here were the unsmiling faces of warriors
08:35it's time to get lunch started
08:44michael would you like to watch chankunabe being made
08:48chankunabe is vegetables fish and meat stewed together in a big pot
09:00chanko refers to any food created by a rikishi
09:03so chankunabe is a hot pot made by rikishi a happy rikishi
09:18i'm surprised that the rikishi make it themselves
09:23we take turns making the chankunabe today we're making soy sauce chanko with chicken
09:30does this dish have a proper recipe recipes we don't read recipes
09:39thick vegetables like daikon radish or carrots are sliced thin as though sharpen in a pencil
09:44cut them like this helps them cook better yeah that's looking real nice right there
09:49it's rather hearty isn't it
09:54what matters most is making a lot of food ancient sumo stables were even larger with over a hundred
10:01rikishi they needed a dish that could feed a ton of people from a single pot
10:05what ingredients do you use well there's radish carrots onion deep fried and regular tofu chinese
10:15cabbage burdock root shiitake and enoki mushrooms and wait wait all of that honestly it's not strictly
10:22decided you can use anything that ain't poison it's up to whoever's cooking on that particular day
10:28the ingredients are fairly healthy but the scale of it all is enormous eating is really important
10:44the best way to get big is to eat a lot of carbohydrates first is rice it's a balance of
10:50vegetables meat and fish but rikishi haven't eaten beef or pork since ancient times do you know why
10:58nope it's superstition cows and pigs walk on their front legs right a rikishi whose hands touch the
11:06ground loses what about this sausage and this ham they're processed but that doesn't matter
11:16it's just superstition surprisingly lax huh tradition cannot possibly beat flavor
11:27you'll burn yourself you better be careful if you eat a lot you'll grow up strong like a rikishi
11:37really really
11:48It's good!
12:07Oscar!
12:08Huh?
12:09Do you want to see if eating that chunko has really made you strong?
12:13It's your chance to sumo wrestle with the real Rikishi.
12:20Don't you care if he tears me apart?
12:23You just ate a bunch of chunko.
12:26Besides, the larger man doesn't always win.
12:29Asuka, get low and go for his legs.
12:34Got it.
12:39Come on!
12:42C'mon!
12:45YAAAAA!
12:47HAHA!
12:48AAAAAA!
12:51AAAAAAA!
12:53AAAAAAA!
12:54AAAAAAA!
12:56Nice!
12:57Impressive!
12:58Did you see that?
12:59I can see that.
13:00It's very good!
13:02Ouch!
13:03That was incredible, Asuka.
13:06There you go, kid.
13:09It's not CGI, right?
13:11It...
13:12It...
13:13It's the power of the chunko!
13:15Yes!
13:16Yes!
13:17Yes!
13:18There are a bunch of good blokes.
13:21Haha!
13:22At our stable, we live like family with our apprentices.
13:25My wife even does everyone's laundry.
13:28They're all good guys.
13:31They're like my sons.
13:33Honestly, I used to laugh when I saw the sumo on the telly.
13:46But I've changed my mind about it.
13:48But most of them really did take naps after eating.
13:54Ah, a life of eating your fill, then taking a long nap.
13:59It's like someone's read my mind, except for the intense training.
14:03I couldn't do it.
14:05Me neither.
14:07Oh, me neither.
14:09Thank goodness.
14:11Looks like we won't have to worry about running out of food.
14:14I could wear those nappies.
14:17Today, our family of Brits became fans of sumo wrestling.
14:26In the future, if I ever meet someone who mocks sumo, I'll let him know what's what.
14:32Hello, I'm Michael's buddy Toshi.
14:39This is a hotel in Kobe.
14:42Shouldn't I be talking about Chanko?
14:44Hold your horses.
14:46Practice is starting.
14:47Would you like to watch?
14:48Let's go.
14:49This is my friend and landlady of the Onoe Stables.
14:53It's a temporary practice room built inside a hotel.
15:02The people came to Kobe because they're preparing for the Osaka tournament.
15:09Practice starts early in the morning.
15:13Whoops!
15:14See how their belts are different colors?
15:16White is for Rikishi in the second highest division and up.
15:20Black is for the third highest division and below.
15:23In sumo, rank is everything.
15:25It's a tough world.
15:27Toshi, I'll take you to where we prepare Chanko.
15:32This is it?
15:35They use the hotel's restaurant kitchen and cook Chanko.
15:39Most Chanko is cooked in a pot.
15:42Once the chicken is boiling, you add white dashi broth.
15:46He just keeps pouring.
15:48What a hearty dish.
15:52Now for garlic, the secret ingredient.
15:59It's getting even heartier.
16:02Here comes the other ingredients.
16:06Tear some leeks over the top and you're all done.
16:09The Rikishi are split into groups A and B.
16:13They learn to cook while competing with each other.
16:16This is part of their training.
16:20So, they compete outside the ring too.
16:23You have to keep your guard up even outside of practice.
16:27Butter fried squid.
16:30Fried udon noodles with pig entrails.
16:33Fried white fish.
16:45In sumo, your rank is everything.
16:48The stable master and higher ranked Rikishi eat first.
16:52Sir, how's today's Chanko?
17:02Today's pork is good.
17:04And this squid is great too.
17:07Everything is balanced well.
17:11There are a lot of vegetables too.
17:13What about you?
17:18Well, it's a little heavier than what normal people eat.
17:22But I find soupier, heavier foods go down easier.
17:25So, I think that's great.
17:27You can really taste the dashi.
17:30The lower ranking Rikishi wait on the higher ranking Rikishi while patiently waiting for their turn to eat.
17:39It's rough.
17:41They've been waiting for an hour.
17:50The lower ranking Rikishi finally get to eat.
17:53Eating is part of a Rikishi's job.
17:58I do my best to eat.
18:02Rank determining everything is a bit much.
18:06I'm trying hard every day to go up the rank so I can eat early.
18:16Once they're finished eating, it's time for a nap.
18:19Napping is an important responsibility too.
18:22After their nap, they're free to do what they want.
18:26They make plastic models and play table tennis.
18:30At heart, they're just ordinary young men.
18:33Most of the time, we only wrestle.
18:39So, it's fun to enjoy other sports.
18:41Tonight, there's a formal party for an event in Osaka.
18:47The Rikishi get dressed up.
18:52Aren't they awe-inspiring?
18:56Michael, Rikishi don't always run around naked.
19:01No Punkt one for primary.
19:02Let the top sit in there.
19:03There are a 아래� at my back in Hogwarts.
19:04I'd also tell where you're last boast in berning.
19:05But, when the Buguestasnitz does,
19:06stop and STILLING FARY.
19:08You'll find this part greatest movie.
19:10Take some more time.
19:11Once were born in ano later.
19:12I'm flying inså hours hours.
19:13I can make some more time.
19:14They'll walk well up like I'm sì and go play this one with my hands.
19:17But they'll walk away.
19:18Work well up to the back.
