For a Japaneses guy he got a good amount of food out of it

Tokyo Transsexual Cooks and Serves His Own Genitals at Public “Ham Cybele” Banquet, Police Shrug, “It’s Not Illegal”
“Please retweet. I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen…. I will prepare and cook as the buyer requests, at his chosen location.”


On Sunday, April 13, Tokyo illustrator Mao Sugiyama (who goes by the nickname “HC”), publicly seasoned and braised his own genitals on a portable gas cartridge burner, and then served them to five eager diners who each paid about $250 for the meal (a sixth was a no-show). The genitals had been returned to Sugiyama, frozen and double-bagged in plastic, following sex-change surgery on his 22nd birthday in early April during which they were removed.

Sugiyama had originally offered the meal on Twitter in mid-April to the first person willing to pay 100,000 yen (about $1,250). But after the notoriety that his tweet caused, he organized a public banquet, dubbed “Ham Cybele – Century Banquet,” at the Asagaya Loft event space in the Suginami Ward of Tokyo. “Century” in Japanese is a homophone for the Japanese word for “genitals”; “Ham Cybele” doesn’t appear to have any particular significance other than that the initials match Sugiyama’s artist name of “HC.”


The day before the event Sugiyama tweeted, “I’m starting to thaw them out,” and posted this photo (warning: not for the squeamish). A crowd of what appeared in photographs to be at least several dozen diners and onlookers gathered to listen to a piano recital and panel discussion before the dinner.


Although only five servings of the genitals were available, the other diners were served alternate beef- and crocodile-based dishes. The cooking was done by Sugiyama himself, dressed as a chef, under the supervision of a licensed food preparation specialist.


One of the five genital eaters posted a long, detailed blog post on April 14 about the event, including about 20 photographs (the source of our photos here), but the entire post was deleted on May 19 and a new post appeared stating that the removal was due to privacy considerations. Since Sugiyama himself linked to and seemed to endorse the blog post, we can only speculate that the blog hosting service or the police objected to the post.

Diners were required to sign a waiver releasing Sugiyama and the event organizers from any liability arising from the consumption of the genitals. Sugiyama stated that before his operation he had been tested to be free of any venereal diseases and had not yet started receiving female hormone therapy. He also added that his genitals had been normally functional and that the pre-severed penis could attain an erect length of 16.1 cm (about 6.3 inches).

Close-up photos of the braised genitals showed a sliced penis shaft with clearly visible corpora cavernosa and urethra, a sliced testicle with the look and texture of sea urchin sushi, and scrotal skin with about 3 mm of pubic hair growth. Rounding out the presentation the chef garnished the genitals with button mushrooms and Italian parsley.

A spokesman for the Suginami police told CalorieLab that they had received many inquires and complaints from concerned citizens, but that they were unable to pursue the matter because there is no law prohibiting cannibalism in Japan. Nevertheless, the spokesman said, “We’re going to talk to the people at Asagaya Loft and ask them what is going on and why they hosted such an event.”



Sugiyama is cheerfully answering questions from curious Twitter members about Ham Cybele, his operation, and especially his new corset, which he’s wearing to help form a prevent a feminine hourglass shape as his female hormone therapy progresses which he is doing for health purposes. He reports that video of the Ham Cybele event was taken and will be available at a later date. He tweets that his sex-reassignment surgery cost him 1 million yen (about $125,000).

The original tweet that started this is reproduced below:

[Please Retweet] I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen [$1,250]. I’m Japanese. The organs were surgically removed at age 22. I was tested to be free of venereal diseases. The organs were of normal function. I was not receiving female hormone treatment. The length at full erection was 16.1 cm [6.3 inches]. First interested buyer will get them, or I will also consider selling to a group. Will prepare and cook as the buyer requests, at his chosen location. If you have questions, please contact me by DM or e-mail.



[For simplicity's sake, we used the male singular pronoun "he" throughout this post. Update: According to tweets on May 23 and 24 Sugiyama self-identifies as asexual, neither male nor female.]

Update: Tokyo residents can meet Chef Sugiyama in person on Friday May 27 at the Abilletage corset shop and tea salon from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The shop is on the third floor of the AM/PM convenience store building on Meiji Douri street between the Shinjuku Station Southern Plaza exit and Yoyogi Station of the Yamanote Line. Sugiyama will be cooking and serving waffles certified to be free of genital material. In addition, he will be selling books of his illustrations and demonstrating nail art techniques. (Update: Tweet from Abilletage with waffle photo, and blog post with nail art photo.)



Update: On the issue of the pronoun and asexuality, it appears that there is a class of people, called “nullos” or “smoothies,” who are a subset of “MTE” (male-to-eunich) “non-transgender” males, and those keywords should be enough for you to research this further on Google. U.S. surgeons doing sex-reassignment surgery follow the “Harry Benjamin Standards of Care” in determining who can get surgery, and this MTE area is not covered. Patients need to travel outside of the United States to do this. We’re not sure if Japan is one of those countries.

[QUOTE=Fishooked;4476564]Japan leads the world in WTF. [/QUOTE]

In producing "Wtf"... yeah.

They dont actually experience it.

SOme dude goes to a park, drops trou, then commences to contort himself into a position where he is actually inserting his head into his own tuchus...they go "oh very nice", form an audience, sit down and golf-clap.

When he suffocates, they politely watch until the madly flopping skin donut gradually stops moving then move on as if nothing happened.

Then we get it here on the utubez and go "WTF!!!!!???"

100K (Yen). About $1,250.00 USD and split 5 ways to boot.

A very reasonable $250 per portion. Do try not to be 5th man in however ;) Please refer to my Disorderly Greek Exit thread if you want to know why not.

This should have had a NSFL tag.

I mean, besides GMC, who else is going to eat a testicle with stubble on it?

[jetswin]

This is most definitely worse than eating a chicken breast and finding a nipple

[Fishooked]

Also note the broad in the background with the surgical mask -

Probably wants to make sure a braised teste doesn't end up in her mouth.
