Of course it would only apply to Akinoshima here, but a very common  
theme I remember from the Las Vegas koen was the fact that quite a  
few rikishi had trouble with the American food, so at least he may  
have especially enjoyed being able to eat great sushi in public  
without being mobbed - if he's actually mobbed now that he's an  
oyakata...
