[h=1]Brazil, Japan, sumo and food all intertwine deliciously[/h]
Kuroda became a champion sumo wrestler, reaching Japan's prestigious first division more than a decade ago.
[...]
In 2005, Kuroda opened his restaurant, Bueno, in Liberdade, Sao Paulo's Japanese district, specializing in his old nemesis: chankonabe, the traditional sumo dish brimming with pork, soy and vegetables, and everything else the wrestlers could think of to throw in to put on weight.


At first, his clientele was almost entirely Japanese, but since then his sumo fare and other hot plates typical of izakaya, or Japanese bars, have helped transform the city's Japanese culinary scene, considered by many among the world's best.

I'm always up for a new restaurant. I just hope the portions aren't sumo sized.
