This nutrient hot-pot dish is in the centerpiece of sumo wrestlers’ diet to gain weight and muscles to build their bodies.
It is not accidental that the dish has become the mainstay of the wrestlers' regimen.
① Food needs to be prepared in the stable by wrestlers; no professional cooks available. Under this constraint, it is preferable to be able to cook easily in a short time.
② It is nutritionally well balanced.
③ Since it is heated during preparation, it is highly hygienic.
④ Eating from the same hot-pot dish ferments a sense of solidarity and teamwork.
