This is a sample floor plan for Sumo + Sushi. Please note that each venue will look slightly different. In general, the sumo mat is centered in the room with Front Row being the closest ticket around the ring followed by Sushi + The Show. VIP Sky Suite is the most premium experience on an elevated platform with on-demand sushi and an open bar! The Show [Viewing Only] is bleacher style seating furthest from the ring.

The best way we can tell you is to show you! Here is a video from one of our past events!

Sumo + Sushi is equal parts entertainment and education! We do feature live exhibition matches in the last part of the show but we also focus on sharing first-hand stories and experiences from Konishiki as well as education around the sport of Sumo in general. This will not operate as a traditional tournament with live sumo action the entire event.
The show runs approximately 90 minutes in 3 acts with brief intermissions where you can purchase drinks or use the bathroom.

This will be collected through a survey question when you purchase your tickets!

The menu hasn’t been finalized quite yet but it will be added to the website once it has been! You can review past menus on the here for examples.

We do not currently have a wait-list for these ticket types. We recommend arriving early and checking in at the Merch table day of to see if there are last minute upgrades available for purchase.

No, if you do not have the same ticket type, you will not be able to sit together! The only way to ensure your entire group sits together is to purchase the same ticket type (example: everyone gets a Sushi + Show ticket), arrive together, and wait to be seated at the same time.

As a standard policy, this event is 21+ due to liquor board and venue restrictions.
We are in the process of creating all ages event sessions where possible. Those sessions will be clearly labeled in the ticket name as *ALL AGES* and typically happen on Sundays. In all other instances, we cannot allow anyone under the age of 21.
- Please note that for any All Ages shows, a ticket for a minor will be the same price as an adult. Our bento box options will not change and we do not allow substitutions or alternate menus for minors.

All seating is done on a first come first served basis. You will be seated once your entire party has arrived to ensure you are together. We will also point out that all seats are great seats as it is in the round!

Outside of a ‘Meat & Seafood’ and ‘Vegetarian’ option, we are unable to accommodate specific dietary restrictions or allergies.
