Japan’s First N’aked Restaurant Set To Open

Indeed, the end is NEAR either you
believe it or not. Japan’s first
‘naked restaurant’ opens in Tokyo
next month with draconian rules of
entry – podgy prospective diners
will be weighed and ejected if
found to be too fat.
Following the lead of
establishments in London and
Melbourne, ‘The Amrita’ – Sanskrit
for ‘immortality’ – also has strict
age restrictions, with only patrons
between 18 and 60 allowed in,
after they check in their clothes
and put on paper underwear
provided by the restaurant.
‘If you are more than 33lb above
the average weight for your height,
we ask you refrain from making a
reservation,’ a list of rules posted
on the restaurant’s website states,
explaining that patrons could be
weighed if they do not appear to be
within the correct weight range.
The list of rules asks visitors not to
’cause a nuisance to other guests’
by touching or talking to fellow
diners. Tattooed customers are
barred from entry.
Those who meet the restaurant’s
entry requirements will be asked to
lock away mobile phones and
cameras in a table-top box.
Guests will fork out up to 80,000
yen (£520 or $750) for tickets
entitling them to eat food served by
muscle-bound men wearing g-
strings and watch a dance show
featuring male models.
Meal tickets, not including a show,
will cost from 14,000 (£90, $130),
to 28,000 yen (£180, $260)
depending on choice of menu.
