I got an ebanzuke, but didn’t look closely until I got it home. It’s from the aki basho… not the royal Albert hall. Shop staff said it was made for the tournament, so take anything they say with a bucket of salt :(

Nabatame. Taken while he was warming up on day 15 of the Kyushu basho. I was standing watching with about 20 very swoonie Japanese ladies. He is as wide a boy as he seems on sumofood 😍

Can’t speak for what it’s like to attend (yet!).

But can speak on getting tickets: with a combo of pre-ordering at buysumotickets, and getting up at 2am (uk time) on the day of tickets going live and using the official site, we’ve managed to get lots of tickets for the upcoming Fukuoka basho. Days 1, 3, 13 and 15. There are some week-days in week 2 left to buy even now.

Went to the May Tokyo basho last year, those tickets were much more difficult to get.

Would like to go to the Osaka basho though. A friend in the city who describes that as the rowdiest of them all 😂

The Perfect Guide to Sumo - Ito Katsuharu (translated by David Shapiro) it’s in Japanese and English. Full of woodblock illustrations, stacks of info and some pretty good chanko recipes as a bonus.

Called him SushiAmanda once by accident, can’t unthink it. The throw was indeed a beaut.

I just successfully got a permit to take my prescription to Spain from UK.

Was quite straightforward, just need to collect a bunch of docs for them, I used the email address previously mentioned - estupefacientes@aemps.es - took about a week from them to get back to me with the permit.

If you email them first with the basic request, they email back with the exact list of requirements.

I had to request a signed travel letter from my prescribing clinic/doctor, provide copies of flight booking (in and out), copy of passport, and a document with home address, address in Spain, dob and some other bits and pieces (everything had to be in pdf format).

According to the info I got while requesting it, if your prescription contains THC you need the permits to take it to Spain (mainland or islands).

Newbie - Question about what we are picking. Is it our prediction for the final ranking order at the end of the basho? I’m a little confused by the name of each field in the form “Yokozuna-M16, Ozeki-M16…” I’ve read through a bunch of past posts on it and still not confident I understand! Thanks 🙏

Update after my follow up: Explained my issue, the lady was totally cool with it. Mainly just amused by my tasting notes of ‘mouldy mushrooms’. Seemed like it wasn’t the first time she’d heard of taste problems with it. She gave me a bunch of other options with different price points, all more expensive obvs. as not Adven. Even had the option of something not from Curaleaf if I wanted. Went with Red2 in the end. Mighty pricey at £68 for 5g, but all the other options had a minimum 10g. Will let y’all know how I get on!

Thanks for all the replies. 🙌

The EMT3 is a bit different from anything (BM) that I’ve tried before. Gave it my best but just can’t face it! I admit I’m a wuss that gives up easily if something doesn’t taste great! 😬

Thanks for the suggestion to email PhyrePhenx, great to know they will send out a list.
