What if, like Kartman or a sumo wrestler, you’re just big-boned?

RocketNews24 notes that the restaurant is offering a dinner banquet and a "men's show" dance show featuring American and European male models. Waiters will also be "men with the world's most beautiful bodies."

The sushi place down the street sounds better and better...

This is Japan. I think they only have five lawyers in the whole country.

Just a guess, discrimination laws in Japan may not be the same as here.

#1 There are few truly fat people in Japan, outside of sumo wrestlers.

#2 PC culture does not exist there, so outside of prissy whiners in the western world, that nation will not give to shakes.

I don’t think they are targeting female customers.

And the wrestlers are revered figures. The establishment would actually feel honored if one did come in.

I’ve been to Japan and do not remember any big boned types?
Maybe they all stay up north where it is colder?
