Restaurant fined over plan to serve food on half-naked women
A restaurant in China has been fined for offering to serve sushi on the bodies of half-naked women.
The Yamato Wind Village restaurant in Kunming city was going to launch its "body sushi" dinner earlier this month.
But health authorities in the south-western city banned it before the dinner could even take place.
BBC News Online, quoting the Beijing Daily Messenger newspaper, says the restaurant has been fined 2,000 Yuan (£138).
The restaurant management told China's official Xinhua news agency they simply wanted to introduce a special Japanese food culture to Chinese people.
The practise of eating sushi off naked or nearly-naked women has long been popular with a certain clientele in Japan. But the authorities in China said the restaurant's actions violated women's rights, as well as laws on advertising and food sanitation.
They also said the women used to display the sushi were not suitably dressed for restaurant employees.
