Japanese Food

Despite what you may have read, sumo wrestlers eat only one dish, Chanko-nabe. In fact, when they retire from sumo wrestling they often open Nabe restaurants.
As there is no central heating, Japanese homes have a table (Kotatsu) about the size of a square coffee table with a heater underneath and a quilted blanket over the top. You sit at it with your legs under the table and blanket to keep warm and cook your nabe dinner on the table. Most Japanese people eat Nabe a few times a week, so why are most of them so small and sumo wrestlers so big? Maybe this is a single serving recipe.
If you decide to make this I have extra seaweed, dashi and bonito flakes.
