Someone sent me this video clip of what appeared to be a sushi bar. The sushi was quite unlike any I had ever seen, though. Apparently, all the house specialties are designed to enhance virility.
A popular selection is the live frog – it is skinned before your eyes and you are offered the still-beating heart while the chef prepares a lovely frogmeat sashimi from the rest. I was fascinated and had to find more info.
The name of the restaurant is mentioned in the video – Asadachi. It is located in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo. The name Asadachi means “morning wood.”
Here is the restaurant website….

Hey, Chairman… Guess where we are going for your birthday next year? (Not because you need it, of course – but I would like to have something else killed for your birthday…)
We went to the Asadachi near the Shibuya Eki. It is located down a narrow alley way, no wider than about 6 to 8 feet. We told the chef that we saw him featured on The Travel Channel with Andrew Zimmern. We saw his photo on the wall, along with many other patrons. We were offered some ox testicles, since he said I have such a young and pretty wife. We had just finished lunch, so we had to come back the next day to eat lunch. What a great place!!! It is a must stop for every fan of Andrew Z and the Travel Channel.
