Blind waiter restaurant? Does this exist in Japan?

[Emoni]

Ok, I'm sure this is one of those "way random out there" questions, but I didn't see a "restaurant" forum section, so I figured here was a good place to ask. If not, feel free to move this thread.

When I was in Berlin, I went to a restaurant that staffed blind waiters and waitresses. When rest, you were walked int slowly into the darkest room you have ever not-seen in your life, and were served dinner, but with a vague menu (that you read beforehand of course) that left you quite curious as to what you were eating. It was an extremely interesting experience, and I had heard one time that such a restaurant also existed in Japan.

Is someone aware of where this might be?

The platform is a temple (not sure how you would feel about that), but they do have a mailing list. And apparently offer once a month blindfold meals in constructed darkness. Which to me would be at first exciting, then a bit disorienting and almost scary....but I would jump at the chance to try it ! :gohan:

Good luck !
