March 12,2008: Naked Sushi, SFW??
From
Minneapolis, via
Neatorama.
How many times in your life do you get the chance to eat sushi off of a naked person?
Even when I lived in Okinawa, word was you had to travel to Tokyo if you wanted to witness one of these events -- and if you were a gaijin, you'd better have connections. It was the potential experience more than the food that attracted me to Temple Restaurant & Shinto Lounge on Saturday night for the first of two nyotaimori and nantaimori evenings.
The history of eating sushi off of a person ("nyotaimori" and "nantaimori" mean "female body presentation" and "male body presentation" respectively) is a bit enigmatic, and tracking down the origins of the practice is difficult. Sources differ about whether it is a longstanding tradition among geisha or whether it is a relatively recent phenomenon owed to the yakuza.
At a private birthday party the night before, Temple staff got the chance to train in a real-life setting. Still, excitement was palpable, even as models were being prepared an hour prior to opening.
All told, it takes roughly 90 minutes to prepare a model. After hair and makeup are completed, the robed individual is surrounded by Japanese shoji screens. Behind the screens, the model's sensitive regions are covered with flowers before the sushi can be arranged on bamboo leaves atop their bodies.
More importantly, here's the
slide show.
are they dead or asleep :eyebrow:
Who cares.. It's gross.
The things(pointless) that people will do is amazing.
Kinda puts the BUFF in BUFFet, huh?
It's nice how they lined it all up in a roe.
[insert tuna odor jokes here]
Is that chick grabbing a sausage with her chopsticks?
Guy in the photo in the top picture is gay, whether or not he was gay before he participated in this event remains a mystery.
:eek: So, raw fish causes teh ghey?
Saw it on tv already. This seems to be the new craze. I like sushi but I think I will forego that particular table.
How a culture that has produced so much beauty, in architechture and art, and that has such deep traditions....can come up with things like this is beyond me. Maybe they cannot find the roots of this but there is so much humiliation and debasement in Japanese lifestyle from their treatment of women and other races et al. I cannot believe that this is not another form of this by making another human no more than an object and calling it art. Do they include a bukkake selection for their desert cart?

"Yes, i'll have the seared tube-steak with a side of shittake (mushrooms)"

Those people are "nuts."
Hope none of the actors suddenly has to fart.

Just stay away from the yellow tail.
*Excusing self from table*
I think I'm ready for another piece of that.
And after dinner, you can play a few rounds of pokehim.
Now, what have I told you about playing with your food?

Don't fuck the table?
Hey, wouldn't it be cool if those models were on lazy susans?
Hope none of the actors suddenly has to fart.
Plenty of Fugu to go round, then...
I wonder if they are allowed to engage the diners in small talk as the others eat.
Small talk of the "you come here often" tradition? :cool:
My first thought is about the temperature. Personally, I think it's sort of neat, but I'd freeze my bum off laying out there with fish draped all over me. (Yet, if they kept it warm enough for me, it wouldn't be good for the inhibition of major bacteria growth on sushi...)
OK...I got two (no three) (no four) questions right off.
1. How do you get dried wasabi out of pubic hair?
and
2. How gay is the male diner in the first pic? He's going right for the groin!!!:eek:
and
3. How bad does a chopstick pinch to the jimmy hurt?:thepain:
and
4. Does the buffett come with Happy Ending?:p
Next it'll be school dinners..... (hot lunch to you merkins....)
:eek:
Who's gonna lick the plate? :yelsick:
How about a nice bowel of soup? :)
Next it'll be school dinners.....
:eek:
Oh my word
Images of Doris the Lunch Lady laid out on a table with fishfingers poking out of her... well I won't go any further
Grim
BTW if I was at that sushi party I wouldn't go and sit away from the table! I'd be right there helping myself all night. For a start the first rule of buffet is you do not move too far away from the buffet. And secondly, if the draw is the naked person, why sit where you can't see? I'd be hanging around going for a peek of johnson...
Here ya' go, SG...a peek of Johnson...ville Brats.
Oh my word

ooh, ooh... what about McDonalds?
they could interlace the fries with their greasy hair.... buns on their buns... you could dip your nuggets in their zit pus :D
(sorry, were you eating?)
Huntsman spiders, exploding dogs and now this.
No, I'm never eating again thank you.
To heck with Adkins, we're on the Cellar diet. :eek:

Actually, more often than you'd think.
Ya just gotta know the right people! Maybe not sushi, but I've done fruit, finger foods and cheez dip and crackers.
finger foods and cheez dip
So many jokes, so little time...
