Beauty above, evil below...

Lurking underground in the heart of Tokyo's trendy Roppongi district is a true heart of darkness - a members-only club that combines forbidden sex practices with the art of fine dining.

Now, I know what you're thinking - if I didn't read about this in Japan's respected Mainichi Daily News, I would not have believed it - and I'm not sure I want to believe it *.

The gist of it is, members pay a hefty fee at the door to be allowed to... "have their way" with the animal of their choice - which is subsequently killed, cooked and served to the violator and his party for dinner!

"Does this mean you're not going to call me?"

Many readers were shocked by my recent article titled "Feast Like a Cannibal at the Human Banquet" in which a faux human body is prepared from dough, stuffed with the main course and then "operated" on to extract each diner's portion. Weird, huh?

Well, this bizarre restaurant makes that look like tea and scones at your Aunt Bertha's. As to the question on everyone's lips... WHY???... the answer is, as always, money and what it will buy.

The erotic bakery can't top this...

Whether it's in Japan, China or anywhere else, enough people with enough money create a critical mass that results in somebody providing the ultimate decadent experience. Tiger penises, monkey brains (spooned from live monkeys), and more - if you've got the right amount of cash then anything's possible. Anything.

To quote a source who was a guest at the restaurant, "the appeal of the place just came about because some people have got a lot of money and have done everything else." Still sure you want to get rich? Anyway, patrons pay up to 800,000 yen (around $7000) for the entire experience and must have an annual income of 20 million yen (about $175,000) to even get a peek at the restaurant menu. Once inside, through multple secured doorways, your dating & dining choices include chickens, dogs, pigs or goats - of either sex (just when you thought it couldn't get any worse).

Ready for dinner?

So, if you're bored with the cuisine and ambiance of the neighborhood restaurants, make a staggeringly high income and feel there's nothing left to impress (or disgust) your friends with, this bizarre "pork your pork" restaurant may be just what you've been looking for.

Where else can you truly have your cake, eat it too, and earn a one-way pass to Satan's cocktail bar for flaming drinks afterward - and for eternity?

Shouldn't there be an apple in her mouth?

Just when you thought you'd seen enough Japanese weirdness, something like the so-called "Cannibal Banquet" comes along to shock us anew. The photos pretty much say it all but I will comment anyway - hey, that's what I do!

Do you prefer the breast, or the thigh?

Here's how the Cannibal Banquet works... a pinata-like "body" is carefully crafted, then stuffed with edible goodies in a red sauce. More "sauce" is somehow embedded into the outside covering - "skin" as it were - of the body so that it will appear to bleed when cut into. By this time, most of us would have lost our appetites, but I digress... Anyway, the prepared body (who appears to be wearing a wedding ring!) is wheeled into the dining room on a hospital gurney and a courteous host wielding a scalpel begins the operation. From the looks of it, plenty of alcoholic beverages are required to keep the patrons in the mood to chow down, cannibal style!

"Scalpel... Retractor... Fork..."

You know, I love Japan and even the more unsavory examples of weirdness I uncover just add spice to the culture's charm. The Cannibal Banquet pushes the limits, though, and I have to wonder if the bizarre scene actually takes place in Japan. Other commentators have speculated that the buffet is actually a Taiwanese stunt - wouldn't surprise me in the least. I find it both interesting and amusing that declaring something odd to be from Japan seems to give it an aura of believability in the weird wide world!
