Hakata sumo chanko · Fukuoka
Hakata sumo chanko is the deep-protein hotpot built around chicken, pork and fish balls, with cabbage and miso. A winter dish in motsunabe-style rooms and the rare crossover to Tokyo sumo-stable cuisine.
Chanko-nabe traces to the Tokyo sumo stable cuisine of the late-Meiji era, but the Hakata form took on a regional spin in the 1980s and 1990s as motsunabe rooms expanded into multi-protein hotpots in winter. Today some Hakata izakaya run the chanko version through January and February. It is a rare crossover dish; the canonical Hakata hotpot remains motsunabe or mizutaki.
