"Taking over Borough Hall in Greenwich, Tokyo Nights will feature Sumo (involving four former professional wrestlers) sushi dining, and sake, in a space designed to evoke the streets of Tokyo. The Dohyō (the ring) will be at the heart of the action, with different dining options available, from a premium ring-side menu to more relaxed balcony seating. The team behind Tokyo Nights has worked on events including Grand Expedition, Chambers of Flavour and Secret Cinema, and includes Tokyo-based, London-born artist David Sharibani, aka Lord K2, who has had behind-the-scenes access to sumo stables and the Kokugikan arena in Tokyo."
"Tokyo and London are both cultural powerhouses-different in character but alike in creative spirit. The two cities have long respected and inspired each other, and transporting Sumo to London continues that dialogue. Years ago, Sumo captured the British imagination when it aired on Channel 4 and became a cult classic. Now we have the chance to relive that excitement-this time over dinner at Tokyo Nights, with the grit, ritual, and flavour of the Kokugikan itself."
Tokyo Nights is a theatrical Sumo experience opening at Borough Hall in Greenwich from 6 June 2025. The event features Sumo matches involving four former professional wrestlers alongside sushi dining and sake in a space designed to evoke the streets of Tokyo. The Dohyō (the ring) sits at the heart of the action with dining options ranging from premium ring-side menus to more relaxed balcony seating. The creative team includes producers behind Grand Expedition, Chambers of Flavour and Secret Cinema and Tokyo-based, London-born artist David Sharibani (Lord K2). Tickets are not on sale yet and early-access sign-up is available.
