Diners at a "naked" restaurant in Tokyo will be asked to leave if they are obese because “it could be miserable” for other guests.
Following the establishment of naked restaurants in London and Melbourne, Tokyo is the next city to become home to a nude eatery, albeit one with a stricter set of rules.
The Amrita restaurant, which is due to open next month says it is “aiming for a Roman aesthetic”, and says that anyone 15kg above the average weight for their height will be refused entry.
Upon arrival, guests will be asked to hand in their clothes, their phones will be locked away and they will be asked to put on paper underwear.
But any guests who are thought to be overweight must also submit to being weighed. If they tip the scales 15 kilos beyond the average weight for their height, they will be asked to leave and will not even be refunded, the restaurant said.
Miki Komatsu, spokeswoman for Amrita, told AFP: “If fat people are allowed in it could be miserable for some guests.
“In London they allow overweight patrons in and some guests complained they had a terrible experience.”
“Guests can see the guidelines clearly on our homepage. We are aiming for a sort of Roman aesthetic, like the beautiful paintings you see in museums.”
Diners with tattoos also face exclusion from the restaurant, and guests are asked not to “cause a nuisance” by touching or talking to other guests.
Tickets at the restaurant can cost up to 80,000 Yen (£524), for food served by musclebound men clad in G-strings and includes a dance show.
Meal tickets, not including a show, will cost between 14,000 – 28,000 yen (£90 - £180).
