Sumo is a traditional Japanese sport that originated in ancient times as a ritual to pray to the gods and wish for a good harvest. Over time, rules were established, and by the Edo period, it evolved into the form we know today. Now, it is beloved by many as Japan's national sport.

Originally, "chanko" refers to the act of disciples sharing a meal with their master, whom they respectfully call "Oyaji" (father figure). In sumo culture, disciples are considered the master\'s family, much like his own children. The term "chanko" (chanko hotpot) is derived from "chan" (master) and "ko" (child), symbolizing the shared pot of food eaten together by the master and his disciples.

About Tenryou

"Tenryou" refers to the lands directly governed by the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period. These include historic areas in Tokyo, such as "Ryogoku," the birthplace of chanko and considered the sacred ground of sumo, and "Uchikanda," where the first izakayas are said to have been established during the Edo period. With the intention of honoring the roots of our signature dish, "chanko," and traditional izakaya cuisine, we named our establishment "Tenryou®." We hope to provide a place where guests can experience the warmth and comfort of Tokyo’s rich cultural heritage, embracing the spirit of old Japan.
