LA CARMINA & JIMI / ELEC OF CHEMICAL PICTURES & LAVERITE AT NINJA RESTAURANT IN ASAKASA, TOKYO. WORLD'S WEIRDEST THEME RESTAURANTS.
Could that be? It is! You fangirls call him Man Heaven (eeee!); the rest of the web knows him as Jimi or Elec of Visual Kei band Chemical Pictures. Last fall, we went to Ninja Restaurant in Asakasa to eat ninja-food and to shoot photos for my Theme Restaurants book (out now). Here are some of the outtakes.
Ninja’s entrance is hidden – it took us fifteen minutes to find the opening in the wall. The journey to the restaurant itself was equally convoluted (you’ll read about it in the book). With a “HAI!”, our ninja waiter unscrolled the menu.
Elec and I felt like we were hiding in a hidden forest lair. The ninjas were full of tricks; they’d leap out and pull out his heart from his chest!
They’re talented cooks as well. An appetizer was shaped like ninja stars, another involved dynamite. Here, our ninja is cooking stone soup.
While we ate dessert, a ninja came to our table and mesmerized us with card tricks.
There’s more to this adventure – much more. You’re going to have to read Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants to get to the bottom of things! (Amazon lists it for an affordable $16.47)
The clock is ticking… get your contest entries in for the Gloomth petticoat-bloomer-pants and AllModern.com adorable sushi set!
