Virgin girls must meet strict conditions to be a naked sushi and sashimi serving tray for diners.
Explore Nyotaimori in Japan – the art of sushi on the body of a virgin
Japan has long been renowned for its intricate and refined cuisine worldwide. Among these, sushi is considered the epitome of culinary finesse and aesthetic appeal. This traditional dish, made from rice combined with fresh or cooked seafood, vegetables, and various condiments (especially wasabi for seafood sushi), embodies not only exquisite taste but also artistic presentation. Apart from traditional sushi, there are creatively crafted varieties, with Nyotaimori – nude sushi – standing out prominently.
In Japanese, Nyotaimori translates to 'female body arrangement' (where 'female body' refers to a woman's body and 'arrangement' refers to the serving tray). In other words, it refers to a body-centric feast. Sushi or sashimi dishes are arranged as food on the body of a beautiful naked woman.
Throughout history, the Japanese have had a fairly high and profound understanding of culture, thus they perceive Nyotaimori with a deep understanding and contemplation of humanity and human existence. Therefore, Nyotaimori is regarded as an art form, a part of the Geisha culture hundreds of years ago, with the intention of honoring women who are the source of human life, akin to the image of a newborn nourished by mother's milk.
To become a nude sushi model, girls must meet strict requirements. The first condition is they must still be virgins, as per the belief of East Asians that only this way can purity be maintained inside and cleanliness outside, without contaminating the food. Additionally, girls must have a balanced figure, be beautiful, and have smooth white skin to entice diners. Some restaurants even require girls to have blood type A because these individuals tend to be gentle, calm, and have good endurance.
Before formally serving at parties, Nyotaimori virgins must undergo training to remain still for a long time without moving or making any noise. At the same time, they are trained in emotional control while guests sit around taking pieces of food from their bodies.
Before each party, virgins must purify themselves for 90 minutes without using any scented chemicals, only using soft loofah to scrub their bodies and then soak in ice water to avoid sweating affecting the taste of the food. During this time, ingredients will be prepared for serving because nude sushi is best when eaten 100% fresh. Finally, the model lies on a long table completely naked as chefs present their artistic creations. Beautifully shaped sushi pieces are spread from shoulder to foot except for sensitive areas covered with leaves and flowers. This will provide a completely new and unique experience because guests not only satisfy their taste buds with delicious sushi but also admire the intricate and beautiful artwork on the beautiful virgin body.
According to records, Nyotaimori originated from the Samurai era, often found in Geisha restaurants in Japan as a way for samurai to celebrate victory after each battle. Nowadays, Nyotaimori-serving restaurants and nude sushi events are thriving and becoming a new trend in sushi enjoyment worldwide, such as in the US, Canada, Russia... However, in China, Nyotaimori service is strictly prohibited due to ethical concerns, cultural purity, and concerns about food safety.
