Mamma Mia! Italians Think Japanese Eat Sushi Off of Naked Women?

How Much Would You Pay for Nyotaimori (Body Sushi) in Japan? Try $12,000…

Noyotaimori, or “female body presentation,” is the practice of serving sushi from the body of a naked woman.

While actually considered something of an urban legend in Japan, Western media has made nyotaimori out to be far more popular than it really is and anyone wanting to try would have much better luck going to Montreal or New York.

Still, a few high-class restaurants offering the service are said to exist in cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, though you’ll probably need connections with the Japanese mafia or a lot of cash to get in. How much cash, you say? According to Chinese portal site China.org.cn, expect to pay anywhere from 150,000 yen (US $1,920) for a standard nyotaimori and up to 1,000,000 yen (US $12,785) if you want to go all out.
