Eating in the buff is all the rage right now, and Tokyo is about to hop aboard the dining-in-the-nude craze with pop-up restaurant Amrita. Donning nothing more than paper underwear, diners will pay between $112 and $563 for a meal and entertainment, all while being served by "men with the world's most beautiful bodies" who are wearing nothing but G-strings.

However, the restaurant's entrance policies might further raise eyebrows — and tempers. Diners will only be allowed into Amrita if they don't have any tattoos, are between the ages of 18 and 60, and do not weigh more than 15 kilograms — or about 33 pounds — above "average."
