Japanese porn star Ken Shimizu owns the restaurant, and decided to concoct a a dish specifically engineered to look, smell and taste like human excrement. But why?

Of course, the bowls this dish is served in are shaped like traditional Japanese toilet bowls (just to make it a little bit more appetising).

Stu later on bumped into the "hardest working man in Japanese porn" " and asked for the reasoning behind the dodgy dinner, reports the Huffington Post

"It's not that I like the taste," he said. "But there's something about it that really turns me on."

It's important to point out that no actual faeces are used in making the dish. The chef chose a concoction of herbs and spices to get the right "taste".
