San Francisco Restaurant Tips by la_beba

Restaurant Name: "Nyotaimori"

Frisco is the U.S. city that has the largest Asian community outside of Japan/China.

Once I read a sign in Florida Keys, on I-95 (where weird billboards start popping up): 'All Nude Clubs! GREAT FOOD!'
Some of you might think: 'Pretty disgusting', right? The two ideas don't exactly go together -- but think about it: what could be more appetizing than a naked person? (I guess it depends on the person, huh?) ROFL
In Japan, sushi is not just a meal - it is an experience that involves selecting the fish that you want (sometimes from a pool right in front of you), watching the chef prepare it for you, and then enjoying it as fresh as you possibly can. And some sushi restaurants have gone even farther by adding an entertainment component - a young woman would lie naked and her body is used as a table. As the chef decorates her body with fresh sushi, you can pick pieces from wherever you like. Bring a big wallet when you try these places though.
Ok, so I know this sounds weird for some, but if you like sushi... and are up for 'different' you gotta try one of these restaurants. The one I've been to is 'Nyotaimori' in Frisco. The japanese gal lies very still, naked (well, or almost) on a table while you serve yourselves sushi off of her with chopsticks. And then you might wanna keep the newly discovered way of sushi eating at home, but instead use mouth directly, and maybe eliminate all clothing! and get creative with where 'wasabi' will go, etc ;-) Just a tought ('ve you done it Frank?)

MMMMMMMM, I'm craving some yellow tail tuna or some unagi (eel)!

Favorite Dish: More Info:

To accompany your sushi, they'll probably offer you one of three options:

* Green Tea:
Which is served throughout the meal and removes aftertastes and freshens the mouth for the next serving of sushi.

* Beer:
Sapporo, Kirin, or Asahi.

* Sake (Japanese Rice Wine):
It's made from fermented rice, and it's served warm and is drunk before eating, not during or after. Some would say that the drink is obligatory, while others would say it is redundant because (like the sushi) it is made from rice. Drinking sake during the meal is certainly akin to ordering bread with a sandwich. But it's tradition, so cope. Or!!!! may I suggest you do 'Japanese bombers'!!!! (stick the little porcelain cup w/sake into a bigger glass w/beer, let it sink to bottom, and drink whole thing at once!) just as if tequila shots... ;-)
