WHAT TO EXPECT

Sumo + Sushi is equal parts education and entertainment! The show is 90 minutes in length with two brief intermissions.

 

You’ll learn about the history, rules, and culture of sumo, followed by a demonstration of winning and forbidden moves.

 

If you get a Sushi + The Show or Front Row ticket, you’ll enjoy a locally curated sushi bento box during the show. For VIP Sky Suite guests, you will have a dedicated chef rolling sushi all night long! Menu coming soon. View sample menu here.

 

Throughout the night, Konishiki will share stories from his fifteen-year career and answer questions from the audience. The show ends with live matches where you can cheer on your favorite wrestler!

 

KONISHIKI

The most genuine way to learn about Sumo is from a former Sumo wrestler who has lived and breathed the experience firsthand. We’re proud to partner with Konishiki who will host Sumo + Sushi! He is the first non-Japanese-born wrestler to reach ōzeki, the second highest rank in Sumo. Throughout his legendary career, he won the top division championship three times.

 

After retirement, Konishiki honors his Hawaiian roots through live musical performances and has released many albums as a Hawaiian singer. He also consistently gives back to his community through the Konishiki Kids Foundation to help underprivileged children from Hawaii to experience Japanese culture.
