Sumo and Shinjuku

We went along for a sumo wrestling opening night today, it was a full house and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
There were still a lot of things which I didn't understand but the main thing which surprised me was how quick each match was. They prep and psych out most of the time and once they both touch the ground they go and it's over often in a few seconds.
Got a beer while there which was a massive line but still felt part of the atmosphere doing it.
After sumo we headed in the homeward direction but stopped off at Shinjuku for dinner.
We did a quick stop into Don Quixote first which everyone seemed to enjoy walking around. Found it funny that all the adult dress up and toys were right next to the kids toys area, had to explain a few things to Ethan but not too much.
We then headed to Omoide Yokocho (piss alley) which is a group of restaurants which are down a very narrow alley. Most places were packed but we went upstairs and got placed in a private booth for our dinner. It was sorta tapas which we had sashimi and gyoza from.
We then went to see the Godzilla head and headed back home to call it a night.Read more
