Also mentioned in the English commentary...

Apparently, Kotooushuu finds eating large quantities of rice unappealing 
unless he covers it with lots of cheese.  Is this a way for him to gain 
weight? Or just a personal preference? The commentators, speculating 
about the ways this basho might change sumo in the future, wonder if 
rice with cheese will become a popular new dish.  Japan has been known 
to have a weakness for fads, so who knows.  I wonder if this is the kind 
of eccentricity which for Kotooushuu would be called a brilliant 
innovation but if it were Asashouryuu it would be called outrageous 
behavior. I don't know... as far as I'm concerned, it depends on the 
type of cheese...
