Naked Sushi...
Naked Sushi, properly known as Nyotaimori, is the practice of eating sushi from the body of a woman. The custom of Nyotaimori began more than 400-years ago during the Edo period of Japan. It was during this Golden Era, under the Tokugawa Shogunate, that Nyotaimori flourished as a noble and decadent art form for the elite ruling class.
For hundreds of years Nyotaimori has been observed as an art form only for the elite. In fact, there are so few people who have 
enjoyed this legendary, exotic and extraordinary meal that even in Japan, where it originated, it is spoken of as an urban myth! The Funky Monkey Wine Company I-Drive at Pointe Orlando is excited to offer this experience for all to enjoy on Thursday, February 11th from 8PM until 10PM.
Still not enough... we will also feature babyBlue's Review of Delectable Dolls Dancing and Prancing and DJ Nazzaro spinning all night long! Call (407) 418-9463 or book online HERE to reserve your experience.
