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 15 kilos (33 pounds) 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.
Guests found to be “overweight” will be refused entry to the
restaurant, which opens on July 29, and will not be entitled to a refund, its
website points out. All payments must be made in advance on an online booking
page.
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.
The restaurant owners were not immediately available for
comment when contacted by AFP.
Guests will fork out up to ¥80,000 (RM3,044) 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
to ¥28,000 depending on choice of menu.
