Sumo style restaurant in Tokyo

[David Farber <farber@central.cis.upenn.edu>]

I have had many requests for the location of the  Sumo type
restaurant mentioned in my Tokyo Diary ( I have put it on
my Web page http://macpond.cis.upenn.edu)


        Last night we went to a restaurant where Sumo food is served. I have
        never had so much food. A high amount of raw fish, tempura and a meat,
        fish stew that is the heart of the meal. We crawled out. The restaurant
        surrounds a sumo ring (used to be real one) and both japanese and
        western seating was avaiable. It is several blocks from the Sumo arena.
        Great place. If your aiming for Tokyo give it a try.

From: ajp@glocom.ac.jp (Adam Peake)


Restaurant name:  Yoshiba, tel: (03) 3623-4480
Located in an area of Tokyo called Ryogoku.  JR train to Ryogoku station,
Soubu Line.  Yoshiba is about 4 blocks (1 k.m.) "north" of the station
("north" means up the Sumida River), past the Sumo stadium.


Anyone who want's to go, ask them to contact me and I'll give them an
address and instructions.  Might be able to put together a gif map and
Japanese address (for taxi drivers), if that would help.


Hope you and GG are enjoying life back at home.
