FEAST ON A BEAUTY'S hahahaha
A Japanese restaurant offering sushi served on the hahahaha of a near naked woman has caused a storm in the conservative southwest Chinese city of Kunming.
The Hefengcun Huaishi restaurant launched "Feast on a Beauty's hahahaha" hiring two fair-skinned college girls to lie on tables, with sushi and other food and flowers placed on their bare bodies.
The reports caused a outcry in the local and national press with many readers slamming the novel dining trend as offensive and insulting to women.
Li Ailing, manager of the Japanese-owned restaurant, said: "We didn't think the reaction would be so explosive, so controversial.
"The purpose of this promotion is not commercial, but to spread Japanese culture."
She blamed the reaction on Kunming people's conservative attitudes, but said the restaurant had many supporters after reports came out.
"We had lots of people who supported us and wanted to make reservations, including people from Hong Kong and Taiwan," she said.
Known as "Nyotai Mori" in Japan, the feasts date back to ancient times and are usually offered to aficionados on request.
Restaurants as far afield as Seattle and Manchester have also offered sushi in the raw and drawn similar protests from women's activists.
Li said the Kunming restaurant was planning to charge £66 (1,000 yuan) per person, far lower than the 10,000 yuan cost in Japan
