Nyotaimori and Nantaimori Eating Sushi off a Naked Body
Nyotaimori is the famous Japanese practice of “naked sushi.” In the United States, it
can be difficult to find sushi restaurants that serve naked sushi. This is due to health
codes, feminist protests, and nudity laws.
Nyotaimori is the practice of serving sushi on a naked body, usually a fairly young,
attractive woman. A similar practice is Nantaimori, which is serving sushi on the
body of an attractive young man, mostly in homosexual bars. Some women have
protested this practice, not understanding the cultural traditions and artistic value of
Nyotaimori. The word itself translates as “Adorned body of a woman.” This is an art
form that has long been accepted in Japan. Tokyo in particular is famous for this type
of art.
While Nyotaimori has been shown in several films, such as Bruno, Sex and the City,
and Rising Sun, the practice is not that common in Japan. Where it is practiced, it is
usually associated with organized crime and prostitution. In fact, in Japan, it is viewed
as a European fad. The true history behind Nyotaimori in Japan has been obscured
by legend and rumors. Europeans present it as a long-standing cultural art form,
while others say it’s rarely practiced outside Yakuza mafia gatherings. Some Japa-
nese cultural experts hold the theory that the practice began in the 1980s economic
boom, when wealthy businessmen had a
sudden abundance of money and were
looking for creative ways to spend it.
The preferred, traditional style of Nyo-
taimori dining is to use your fingers to
retrieve the sushi off the body. Due to re-
strictions in some locations, the restaurant
may require the use of chopsticks only,
making sure that patrons don’t touch the
model and violate any ordinances.
Nyotaimori and Nantaimori require rig-
orous training for the person who wishes
to become a sushi platter. First, the
person must learn to lie perfectly still for
hours, withstanding prolonged exposure
to cold food. Body hair must be com-
pletely shaved, including pubic hair. The
model takes a bath with a fragrance-free
soap, then splashes with cold water to
cool the skin before the sushi is applied.
Some regions of the world require a
layer of plastic between the sushi and the
skin to comply with sanitation laws.
Restaurants serving this delicacy are rare
and rather private about the details. One
location that is bold enough to provide
the service, but discreet about the details,
is Flash Sushi in London. Diners are
invited to different locations at different
times. You are only informed of the date
and location after you have paid for the
meal, usually 24 hours before the dinner.
Once there, you’ll join up to 12 guests at
a champagne reception before partaking
in your 10-course sushi dinner off the ex-
quisite models. Dinner costs 250 pounds
per person, but wine, champagne, and
Japanese beers and whiskeys are com-
plimentary.
