Nyotaimori

Nyotaimori, also known as "body sushi" or "naked sushi," is a practice originating in Japan where sushi or sashimi is served on the naked body of a person, typically a woman. The term literally translates to "female body presentation." This practice combines elements of food service, performance art, and erotic entertainment.

Additional Information

While nyotaimori is often associated with sexuality, it's important to note that in its traditional form, it's more about aesthetic presentation and the blending of culinary and visual arts. The practice requires extensive preparation, including thoroughly cleaning the model's body and often covering it with sanitized leaves to prevent direct contact between the food and skin. The person serving as the "human platter" is expected to lie still for extended periods, sometimes for hours.

Modern interpretations of nyotaimori can vary widely, from high-end exclusive dining experiences to more erotic or fetishistic practices in adult entertainment settings. It's worth noting that the practice has faced criticism for objectification and potential health concerns.
