Art of naked sushi comes to London

19th August 2009, 10:18am

To most Britons the traditional Japanese art of eating sushi off a naked female body is a touch eccentric. But it's the latest food trend to hit the streets of London.

Flash Sushi is the first, authentic Nyotaimori dining experience available in London. Nyotaimori, roughly translated as 'female body presentation', is the art of eating sushi off a naked female body.

For centuries this rare and shadowy practice has been the sole preserve of Japan's very elite, but in the spirit of gastro-egalitarianism it has been brought to the paying public in London.

Flash Sushi will offer a limited number of places with only one dinner sitting per month until March 2010, when the concept ends.

In a statement the company said: "The experience is like no other meal. Prospective diners are asked to register their interest through the Flash Sushi website. Customers will then be informed of the next Flash Sushi dinner via email, disclosing the time, location and a code of conduct for the sitting.

"For everyone's enjoyment certain rules will apply and must be adhered to; such as no photography, no mobile phones at the table, no conversing with the model and most importantly – charming, polite and respectful dinner behaviour."

Flash Sushi says that to ensure absolute privacy and exclusivity, the locations of the dinner parties vary and can be hosted anywhere from a grand central London mansion to unoccupied warehouse space.

By its very nature, dining Flash Sushi style is not the cheapest way to eat out. Due to the limited amount of places and the logistics of planning each event the price per head is £250.

Packages include:

Perrier-Jouet Champagne on arrival
10-course Omakase Sushi dinner served on the models
Wine, Japanese beer, mineral water and Japanese whiskey
