chankonabe; sumo wrestler's hot pot
A hearty stew traditionally eaten by sumo wrestlers to gain weight, but also enjoyed as a general hot pot dish. Contains fish, meat, and vegetables.
Chankonabe is famous as a meal for sumo wrestlers.
In winter, I often make chankonabe at home.
The origin of ちゃんこ is uncertain, but it likely derives from a Chinese word or a term used in sumo stables. The word 鍋 (nabe) means 'pot' or 'hot pot'.
