This curry shop claims to serve you a curry with taste of " human poo".

 

This shop, opened by an adult movie actor and director, Mr. Ken Shimizu(aka Shimiken), did "extensive research" to develop curry which tastes exactly like poo.

The ingredient includes Swertia tea, bitter melon etc. Well, do not worry, there is not a real poo inside. All made from non-poo ingredients.

 

To give you the "real" feeling, your curry served in a dish in a shape of traditional Japanese toilet. 

 

One research company conducted one study asking if they want to go to this restaurant on 400 men and women (20-30year old). More than 85% of them answered "No". 

 

[ UPDATE: Unfortunately (or fortunately?? ) the restaurant is closed permanently on 4 of Jan, 2017 ] 

 

=>Looking for strange curry? How about the pink and blue curry?

So why Mr. Shimizu came up with this idea to serve curry tasting like sh*t?

For non-Japanese person, this news would sound just super stupid. As Japanese, we understand to some degree "this joke". If you are male and grew up in Japan, you most likely have heard "the extremest question of life（人生最大の質問） ", a play where you ask your class mates a very difficult and stupid question. One of the typical questions of this play is "whether you will eat poo with the taste of curry or curry with the taste of poo".
