Japan police probe man who cooked own genitals

Tokyo police are investigating whether a man who cooked his own severed genitals and served them to five paying diners committed a crime, the force said Tuesday.

Mao Sugiyama had his penis and testicles surgically removed in March and kept them frozen for two months before cooking them at a public event in May.

Diners each paid 20,000 yen ($250) for a portion.

1. I wonder if they will charge him for serving meat that wasn't inspected.

11. The only articles I can find about this from a Japanese source

are all from a web site of *very* dubious repute called "News U.S." I'll bet the item on the menu was really just "mountain oysters", rather than "human oysters".

By the way, the person in this article writes his name with the Kanji (Chinese) characters 真央。 However, the same Japanese phonetic spelling of the name, but written with the characters 魔王, means "Satan".
