Man-Eating Sushi
"In Tokyo, sushi is finally getting its revenge."
- Andrea Sachs
This is possibly the greatest quote ever :)
What is this all about? And how has this "sushi" finally exacted its diabolical revenge on mankind?!
The bizzare story begins in Ooedo-Onsen-Monogatari, a hot spring in Odaiba...
It was a sunny day in May 2006, the elementary school children were marching along to their schools in their little yellow traffic safety hats, salarymen in their near-identical black business suits were hussling to work en mass, and a mysterious turkish package was arriving at the doorstep of one of Tokyo's swankiest spas.
Little did they know, it was a package that would strike "mild horror" in the hearts of spa-goers and that's contents would be described as simply "disturbing".
Are you ready?!
As the first brave soul dipped his hand into the mysterious tank dozens of black creatures warmed!
Oh, THE HORROR!
Like something straight out of the pages of a sci-fi thriller, the Garra rufa hunger for human flesh! Dead human fleshhhhhh!
Hey wait, before you run for the covers, I'm talking about dead skin.
Garra rufa, if you want to get scientific, are natives of the river basins of the Northern and Central Middle East, mainly in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. They are an internationally-sought-after, rare and highly protected....
Fish
That's right a fish, but not just any fish, a "Doctor Fish"
These bizzare little "sushi" actually eat the dead skin off of one's fingers and toes, while leaving the live skin clean, refreshed, and most inportantly, intact!
What a way to get a manicure!
All part of the new excitement at the spas and hotsprings of everyone's favourite odd-ball country.
And so, in a deliciously (or disgustingly) ironic turn of events, in the spas of Japan, the sushi eats you!
