SUMO STEW (#SUMOSTEW) is back at Brooklyn Brewery for round #10! Inspired by a trip to Japan, photographer Michael Harlan Turkell (harlanturk.com) returned to New York City with aspirations of importing this ancient sport, and teamed up with Harry Rosenblum, owner of The Brooklyn Kitchen (thebrooklynkitchen.com), a wonderfully multi-faceted cooking store and center for culinary education. The two created a series based around plentiful bowls of chankonabe, the “sumo stew” wrestlers prepare and eat before matches. The hearty broth is loaded with fortifying protein and vegetables. This, paired with a live stream of the bimonthly grand tournaments, makes for a lively event, which brings hungry first time and long-standing sumo fans ringside.
Every guest will also get a special bento box, composed of Japanese-inspired dishes from top NYC restaurants, including (subject to change):
The Brooklyn Star: Shrimp Balls in Lobster Dashi with Grated Daikon, thebrooklynstar.com
Salt + Charcoal: Japanese Fried Rice (fried tofu curd, hijiki, edamame, carrot), saltandcharcoal.com
Bessou: HAPPY VALLEY MEAT COMPANY Beef Kakuni (sweet soy braised beef, daikon, heirloom, carrots, chickpeas), bessou.nyc
