[SUMO] Sumo Goods Shop

[Masumi Abe <abe@accesscom.com>]

The best way to shop sumo goods is to get a ticket to a sumo tornament.
But it's available only during the time they held the tornament, and
requires a ticket.

The easiest way to shop sumo goods when you are in Tokyo is to visit
"Beer Station Ryogoku" which is located right next to JR Ryogoku Station
West Entrance/Exit (Nishi-guchi). They serve originally brewed beer, and
have a sumo goods shop (O-miyage-ya: Souvenir Shop) attached. I don't
think they sell real mawashi, etc., but they have many types of
sumo-related souvenirs, sumo cards, sumo magazines, t-shirts, etc., and
opened from 11:30 am to 11:00 pm.

JR Ryogoku Station is east of Akihabara (well known for their
electric/electronic shops) on JR Sobu-line (Sobu-sen).
