After a decade of battles between lawmakers, Japan has finally decided to allow human meat consumption.
The world’s first restaurant that serves human meat legally is not open at Kichiba District in downtown Tokyo.
The restaurant named “Restorantu Ani Taberareru” [Edible Brother Restaurant], opened its doors to public and from customers all over the world on December 1, 2017. A similar restaurant is also opened in Yokohama yesterday bearing a different Japanese name “Resoto Ototo No Shoku Ryohin” but with the same English meaning.
According to the restaurant manager Yukihedi Otsuka, the price of menus ranges from $100 up to $2,500 per order of human flesh.
The very first customers, a Swedish couple, paid more than 7,000 euros to get an experience of a lifetime, said that the flavor is like pork.
“It’s similar to pork. It really depends on the recipe I guess. The grilled meat was like a pig belly, while the teriyaki was like goat meat. You can’t really tell if it’s something else”, the woman who refused to give her name said.
According to a source working in Japan’s Ministry of Health, people who are dying are donating their bodies for experiment, and if researchers are done with their jobs, the carcass will then be turned-over to the restaurant who have exclusive permits.
But it is not simple as many would think.
Only people who dies of natural calamities or accidents can be consumed. Those who dies because of illness can be sold to researchers, but not to restaurants.
The source said a healthy person who dies of shooting or stab wounds are the most expensive ones and their internal organs worth more than their actual body.
“Healthy heart, lungs, brain, and other intact internal organs worth more than the body as they can be transplanted to a live person”, the source said.
