[Dumb Questions] While dining out...

At my favorite sushi bar, while getting my yutaka of
unagi, I ordered the hot sake. On this menu it was
listed as OZEKI. I had to ask the sushi chef, who is
Japanese-American, if there was a connection to ozumo.
He asked me what ozumo was! In fact, there were no
fans of wrestling there at all! So, feeling like a
gaijin in my hometown, I finished and left for home. 

Has anyone come across this usage of ozeki?
Is there a yokozuna sake?
Are we alone in the universe?

Inquisitively,
Unagiyutaka
