Takerufuji Gets First Win Over Daieisho, Reveals Curry Chain Pick-Me-Up

East Maegashira 4 Takerufuji, 27 (Isegahama), pushed out West Maegashira 4 Daieisho, 32 (Oitekaze), by oshidashi on Kyushu Day 2 for his first win after losing to Hiradoumi on Day 1.

Nikkan Sports says that night he ate chanko and then went to the Kanazawa-based curry chain Go Go Curry, where he had the fried-shrimp curry: 'I got fired up.' 'Kyushu has a lot of delicious food,' he said, but he sometimes visits chains. 'People think sumo wrestlers wouldn't go to chain places. If I go to Saizeriya or somewhere, they're surprised.'
