We don’t mean to put off your appetite but this novel concept in Japan has got us rightfully intrigued. Ken Shimuzu’s Curry Shop Shimizu in Tokyo specialises in a dish that deliberately mimics the texture and flavour of faeces.
His latest venture, according to restaurant manager Hiroki Okada, is an attempt to satisfy an unlikely lifelong desire to find out what excrement tastes like. "For Shimiken and Pan Pong [the curry's creator], it's a question to settle before we die," says Okada. "We had had no choice but to answer the question with our imagination -- until now."
The owners describe their venue, which opened in August 2015, as a "joke restaurant." They say it's not so much about sating appetites as giving diners a good time -- or as good a time as is possible over bowls of stinking brown gloop. “Instead of eating curry, the purpose of coming to the restaurant is to have fun," says Okada. "The curry is just a trigger." Watch the video and read the full story here:
