While looking at the sumo ring in front of me, I enjoyed a large serving of katsudon at "Yokozuna Tonkatsu Doskoi Tanaka." I decided to order the "Doskoi Katsudon" for 2600 yen, which comes with two thick pieces of tonkatsu weighing 200g each. The katsudon arrived shortly after, served in a bowl the size of a udon bowl, filled with plenty of rice, topped with a scrambled egg, and two large pieces of tonkatsu. It was a trendy version of katsudon without the egg topping. The tonkatsu was thick and tender, fried to perfection. The pork seemed to be of standard quality, but considering the price and portion size, it was understandable. The sauce was mild and not overpowering. Despite its weight exceeding 1kg, I managed to finish it all. "Yokozuna Tonkatsu Doskoi Tanaka" is a newly opened tonkatsu restaurant as of November 19, 2022. The storefront is decorated with flowers sent by sumo wrestlers like Hakuho and Konishiki. The restaurant only operates at night, but they host events for international guests during the day. Normally, sumo videos are shown on a screen at the back of the sumo ring, but they also plan to hold events using the ring itself. Customers can even go up onto the ring for a commemorative photo, making it a unique and enjoyable dining experience.

The food is very filling. The thick pork cutlet is tender and piping hot! It's so thick and hot, quite a challenge. I ate with all my might. The miso soup has large clams. The restaurant is clean, with many staff members who are sumo wrestlers, giving a fun atmosphere. The pork cutlet here is better than the fillet cutlet. The pork cutlet set meal is 1600 yen, a reasonable price.

Today, I visited a tonkatsu restaurant called "Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka" with a sumo wrestling concept. The restaurant was located among residential houses and office buildings, standing out as a clean and neat establishment. The interior was spacious with a high ceiling, and there was a sumo wrestling ring in the center with old sumo wrestling videos playing throughout the restaurant. The menu offered typical tonkatsu set meals with powerful options and toppings, and they also had chanko-nabe (sumo wrestler's hot pot) on the menu. This time, I ordered the pork fillet cutlet set meal with a topping of fried shrimp. The shrimp was a bit small, but the pork cutlet was delicious, and the curry was also tasty. Thank you for the meal.

A restaurant where you can eat katsudon while watching sumo matches. I wonder how long this kind of restaurant has been around. The restaurant is so empty that I'm worried about the atmosphere. The katsudon itself is the type that is not closed with an egg, so the oil from the breading goes directly into your stomach. I wonder if this restaurant will still be around next year.

The restaurant was not crowded and there were plenty of empty seats available. I chose my favorite seat and ordered a large portion of katsudon with a side of curry. I am currently on a diet, so I need to be careful not to overeat. Unfortunately, the chashu appetizer was sold out. I waited for a while, watching the TV on the large screen in the sumo ring. When the food arrived, I started with the tonkatsu, which was delicious and crispy on the outside while juicy and tender on the inside. The egg was half-runny and half-set, with a nice dashi flavor. The rice was fluffy and soaked in the broth. The curry had a slight tanginess and richness, with a mild spiciness that made it easy for anyone to enjoy. The pickled radish served as a palate cleanser. The water was cold and refreshing. I finished my meal, feeling satisfied. The restaurant was spacious and could accommodate even larger guests comfortably. The location in a residential area was a bit unexpected, but the food was delicious. I will definitely come back for more of their tasty dishes. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

If you walk about 3 minutes from Kikugawa Station, you will find a sumo-related restaurant that seems to cater to foreign tourists during the day by offering sumo matches along with meals. The restaurant only opens for general business in the evenings. One unique feature of this place is the "Dosukoi" tonkatsu, which is a menu item with double the usual portion. However, the main attraction for me was the Dosukoi chicken katsu. I wanted to try a large serving of chicken katsu without having to fry it myself. The interior of the restaurant has a dohyo (sumo ring) in the center, surrounded by seating. I estimate that it can easily accommodate around 50 people. It's quite spacious with ample space between tables. The restaurant is new, so it's clean. The service is friendly, although it seems like the manager is a bit preoccupied with group reservations. There weren't many side menu options available on the day of my visit. I ordered the Dosukoi chicken katsu as planned, and it arrived in about 10 minutes. It was kind of disappointing that the chicken was pre-cut and the presentation didn't maintain its original form. The chicken katsu was made with juicy yet slightly dry chicken breast, which is typical of what you would find in a standard restaurant. The portion size was indeed satisfying, thanks to the double portion. Overall, while the taste was decent, it wasn't exceptional enough to warrant a special trip, but it's suitable for those looking for a large portion.

Visited the restaurant with a sumo wrestling theme for dinner. Located a 5-minute walk from Kikugawa Station on the Toei Line. The restaurant has a spacious interior with a raised sumo wrestling ring in the center, and a large screen showing sumo wrestling matches. Events are also held in the ring, but tonight, the screen was showing silent footage of the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament. The restaurant is known for its large portions, but I ordered the regular menu item, which was a combination of 100g of pork loin and 2 pork cutlets for 1600 yen. The cutlets were crispy but greasy, and the meat quality was disappointing. While there are other places that serve excellent tonkatsu at the same price, the focus on the restaurant's interior concept is evident. The miso soup included clams, and extra cabbage was available for 100 yen. Overall, it was an interesting experience.

Overall review: Good (delicious!) Katsudon: 1,600 yen Katsu Curry: 1,600 yen Key Point to Know: The most intriguing restaurant in the Sumida area!! The famous never-closing Katsudon x Yokozuna!! In front of the restaurant is a sumo ring where you can even go up for a commemorative photo. The katsu is crispy!! I'm full and satisfied ❤️ Recommended for: - Sumo fans, never-closing Katsudon fans - Those who want to eat crispy tonkatsu ⭐️ - Those who want to go up on the sumo ring ☺️ Visited the most intriguing restaurant near Ryogoku. It's about a 5-minute walk from the station, quietly located in a residential area. This restaurant has been featured in TV shows and is quite popular!! ⭐️ I went up on the sumo ring for the first time and was surprised by how sturdy it was!! The restaurant has a sumo ring inside!! ☺️ As the name suggests, the Yokozuna Tonkatsu comes with a generous portion of two tonkatsu pieces!! This time I ordered just one piece of tonkatsu, and it was crispy ⭐️ Especially the curry had a large portion of rice and I ended up being too full. Since the tonkatsu is crispy, the set meal might be a better choice than the katsudon or curry!! ☺️ The tonkatsu in the katsudon was with sauce, but I wished there was some dipping sauce too, haha. It seems to be a new tourist attraction with international guests as well ☺️ Thank you for the satisfying meal!

(First review) 03/13/2023 First visit. I found the restaurant on Google Maps and was excited to visit after just looking at the menu. Here's what I ordered: [Food] - Dosukoi Katsudon + Side Curry (2600 yen + 300 yen = 2900 yen. Dosukoi Katsudon comes with 200g x 2 pieces of meat. The set meal comes with miso soup, but not with rice bowls or curry. The katsu had a crispy coating and thick meat. It was simple in flavor without egg topping, so I enjoyed adding sauce from the table and the side curry I ordered. ) - Matcha Ice Cream (300 yen. It was getting hot by the time I finished the Dosukoi Katsudon, so I ordered this dessert. It came with 2 scoops, and I wish they offered a half & half option with vanilla ice cream. ) [Drinks] - 120-minute all-you-can-drink (2000 yen. Listed as "Dosukoi all-you-can-drink" on the receipt. I could order anything on the menu, so I focused on drinks with larger quantities. - Dosukoi draft beer - Dosukoi lemon sour - Oolong tea I went for the all-you-can-drink option, which turned out to be a good deal compared to ordering individually. The total was 5200 yen. I'm curious about the difference between "Katsudon" and "Shoyu Katsudon," and I haven't tried Dosukoi Highball yet, so I plan to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I dropped by a nearby place to pick up a package from a client one evening, and I couldn't help but notice the unique appearance of the place. Before I knew it, I was drawn in and ended up making a call. The spacious interior, with a ceiling height of about 5 meters, had a real sumo ring. The owner's love for sumo was evident in the design, as they chose to use a significant area for the sumo ring instead of regular seating. It's definitely a place for sumo enthusiasts. However, the content being projected on the wall with the sumo ring, using a projector, was not sumo matches but the evening news on TV. It might be different when there are actual sumo matches being broadcast. I ordered the loin cutlet set meal for ¥1,600. While watching the news and the sumo ring, the meal arrived in about 15 minutes. What arrived was a thick and powerful loin cutlet. Considering the price, it was quite cost-effective. The meat was cooked just right, with a slight pinkness remaining, and had a firm texture. It was served with sauce and mustard only. The meat was tender and had a hint of sweetness. I believe they use high-quality pork. Instead of the usual miso soup, the set meal came with clam miso soup, which was light and went well with the hearty loin cutlet. Despite the somewhat gimmicky name and interior, the taste was of a high standard. Next time, I'll go all out and order the "doskoi" loin cutlet with full determination. Thank you for the meal.

- Ebi Hire Katsu set meal (2 pieces of fillet, 2 shrimp) (1,800 yen) - Katsudon (pork) (1,600 yen) - Katsu Curry (pork) (1,600 yen) - Char siu appetizer (650 yen) Visited on Saturday, March 6th at 5:05 pm. Visited right after the opening. There were 2 groups of 6 customers already seated. The restaurant was full afterwards, with customers waiting outside. It seems that reservations are recommended during the peak time around 7 pm. I was curious about what this place would be after the public bathhouse closed, and it turned out to be a tonkatsu restaurant. The concept combines sumo wrestling with the atmosphere. There is a full-sized sumo ring in the center of the restaurant, surrounded by tables, creating a unique and spacious environment. There are no partitions, and the high ceiling adds to the spaciousness. Menu options include set meals, katsudon, katsu curry, and special menu items that double the portion size, called "Yokozuna." I tried three different dishes. The breadcrumbs on the katsu were relatively large. The katsu was freshly fried, hot, and thick, providing a satisfying meal. The concept of sumo wrestling combined with tonkatsu creates a high-energy and appetite-inducing atmosphere. Despite the limited number of tables due to the sumo ring, the restaurant seems to attract a large crowd. The service from the staff was attentive and made the dining experience enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Dosskoi! Self-proclaimed curry expert here. On February 9th, I was starving and craving a hearty meal, and nothing but curry would do. So without further ado, I invaded this place. In November 2022, a new restaurant called "Dosukoi Tanaka" opened in Kikukawa, East Tokyo. As soon as I entered, I felt like I was hit with a powerful slap from Asahidoyama. The restaurant features a sumo-themed entertainment concept, with a large sumo ring in the center surrounded by table seating. The background music of lively drum beats added to the atmosphere, and I couldn't help but tap my lower abdomen like a sumo wrestler. The Dosukoi Katsudon and "Choi-gake Curry" are must-try dishes here. The Dosukoi Katsudon is a generous serving of 200g pork cutlet x 2 pieces on top of a simple egg rice bowl. The crispy freshly fried pork cutlet pairs perfectly with the flavorful egg rice bowl, whether you eat it as is, with sauce, or with mustard. The lean and muscular pork cutlet complements the curry well. It's a great spot for a unique date or to impress foreign guests. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Kokugikan, making it a perfect stop after sumo matches. The atmosphere is different from the usual, and it's a great place to entertain and enjoy a different experience. After a date, you can even practice sumo moves together. Overall, Dosukoi Tanaka is a must-visit spot that will likely become a tourist attraction. Gochisousama desu!

The volume was generous, the taste was great, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was calm. There was even a sumo ring inside, and sumo wrestlers were dining there. The photo shows a big-sized dish called "Yokozuna Tonkatsu," which includes two large pieces of tonkatsu, but of course, they also had regular-sized tonkatsu on the menu.

There is a tonkatsu restaurant between two countries and Kikugawa, which seems to be run by sumo wrestling personnel. There is a sumo ring inside the restaurant, and a person who looks like a sumo wrestler is working in the kitchen. The tonkatsu is as thick as a Yokozuna (highest rank in sumo wrestling). The Dosukoi Rosu Katsu comes in a huge 200g size with 2 pieces. It's a huge portion, but surprisingly tender and juicy, and I finished it all in no time. It's a bit disappointing that they only open for dinner. I wish they also offered lunch...

Located a 4-minute walk from Kikugawa, I visited "Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka". This restaurant, known for its jumbo tonkatsu, katsudon, and katsu curry, opened in November last year. I arrived around 5:30 pm on a Sunday and there was no wait. I was able to enter smoothly. Inside the restaurant, there is a sumo ring and a projector screen where you can watch sumo matches while enjoying your meal. I ordered the Katsu Curry for 1,600 yen. The katsu, katsudon, and katsu curry all come in the "Dosukoi" series, with two pieces of 200g tonkatsu. The dish was served in a deep bowl-like plate after about 15 minutes. The tonkatsu was tender and delicious. The curry was like restaurant curry, not particularly distinctive, but tasty. It paired well with the tonkatsu! I enjoyed it until the end. I was concerned that the "Dosukoi" series might be too much to finish, so I ordered the regular size katsu curry, but even that was quite filling.

To all tonkatsu lovers across the country, Happy New Year! Where did you have your first tonkatsu meal of the year? My first tonkatsu meal was at a new restaurant, the popular tonkatsu chain "Katsuya" opened by Kenichiro Usui, the former president of the company. The restaurant I chose for my first tonkatsu meal this year was "Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka", a tonkatsu restaurant produced by him. This restaurant was created to support the second careers of sumo wrestlers, so they actively hold sumo-related events. The event sales seem quite interesting, such as having a sumo match with former sumo wrestlers after the meal or taking commemorative photos on the dohyo. The event sales are quite appealing, but the price of 11,000 yen is quite high, so I decided to try the regular business first. By the way, the regular business is only available at night. The restaurant has a very eye-catching exterior, so I arrived without any trouble. Inside the restaurant, you can see the kitchen from the outside, and the staff working in the kitchen are all well-built guys. It seems like they are really supporting the second careers of former sumo wrestlers. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also impressive. In the center of the high-ceilinged interior, there is a real dohyo (sumo ring)! The tables are arranged around the dohyo, and all seats are table seats. It's interesting to eat tonkatsu while looking at the dohyo. The background music in the restaurant is, of course, taiko drums. Now, it's time to decide on the order, and this restaurant has some unique items on the menu. The recommended item by the restaurant is called "Dosukoi", such as Dosukoi Rosukatsu Teishoku (Dosukoi Katsudon and Dosukoi Katsu Curry are also the same), which consists of two 200g pork loin cutlets, a very voluminous dish. Even though I love pork loin cutlets, I couldn't handle the total of 400g of pork loin cutlets due to my stomach capacity. So, I decided to go with the regular pork loin cutlet, which is also 200g here. Moreover, whether it's a pork loin cutlet set meal, katsudon, or katsu curry, they all come with a 200g pork loin cutlet. Well, it's quite manly or hearty (laughs). Nevertheless, it seems appropriate for the atmosphere of this place to have a 200g tonkatsu. In the end, I ordered the following items: Katsu Curry (1,600 yen) with a 200g pork loin cutlet, which is quite cheap considering the size. It takes quite some time for the food to be served. Well, it's understandable since it's a 200g tonkatsu. The served katsu curry was as expected, quite voluminous. Indeed, having such a large pork loin cutlet on top of katsu curry is something I've never had before. The amount of rice and curry sauce is also generous. The pork loin cutlet meat is a lean and flavorful pork with no strange taste, easy to chew, and has a good sweetness from the fat. It's quite delicious. The frying method is orthodox, probably fried at medium to high temperatures. It's not outstanding in terms of cooking method, but the meat is fried well while retaining the juiciness. There's a bit of oil remaining on the breading, but it's not too bothersome when eaten with the curry. The curry is a Japanese-style curry commonly found in chain restaurants. It doesn't focus on the flavor of spices or spiciness, but it serves its purpose as a side dish to the tonkatsu. Personally, this level of spiciness is just right for me since I can't handle spicy curry. The rice is cooked nicely and fluffy, which is good. It's also nice to have cabbage on the side. It's a bit lonely that there are no condiments. I wish they had included Fukujinzuke or rakkyo. Despite looking quite filling, I finished it easily. It's quite impressive to easily finish a 200g tonkatsu. I wonder if I could handle a 400g one... Overall, if I were to evaluate based on the taste of the food alone, I would give it a 3 out of 5. However, eating a tonkatsu in a restaurant with a dohyo and former sumo wrestlers ===========

After work on Saturday, I was feeling very hungry and craving a hearty meal, so I decided to go to a restaurant I had been checking out recently. I took the Toei Shinjuku Line in the opposite direction of my home to Kikugawa Station, and walked a few minutes to the restaurant called "Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka". This new restaurant opened in November and is located in a renovated former public bathhouse. The interior has a high ceiling and a sumo ring in the center, surrounded by seating for customers. The restaurant is operated by the former president of Arc Land, the company behind "Katsuya" among others, who decided to start his own venture. The staff working there are all solidly built men, supporting the idea of second careers for retired sumo wrestlers. The restaurant mainly operates in the evening, but also hosts lunch events for foreign visitors during the day. The menu offers various tonkatsu dishes, including set meals, katsudon, katsu curry, chicken katsu, and ginger pork. I decided to go for the "Dosukoi Katsu Curry", which is a katsu curry with 200g of pork cutlet, priced at 2,600 yen. The dish arrived with a generous portion of rice and curry in a deep dish, making it quite a substantial meal. The curry had a standard Japanese curry flavor with a light acidity and richness, but the star of the dish was the pork cutlet. Each piece was large and juicy, with a tender texture that was different from the usual low-temperature cooking method. The 400g of pork cutlet and curry was almost too much to finish, but for those seeking a voluminous and impactful meal, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I would recommend trying the katsudon with a side of curry for a different combination. Enjoyed the meal!

Pork cutlet set meal (200g) for ¥1600, Sausage for ¥500.
