Each spring, Kawasaki, Japan, puts on an annual fertility/penis festival, and a Japanese restaurant in New York City is carrying on the tradition. Matsuri will host its own Kanamara Matsuri, or Festival of the Steel Phallus, on Thursday, complete with edible sweetmeat resembling male members. The special menu includes a Big Sausage, a Get It Up Hot Pot, and for dessert, a Hard Banana Cream Pie. If you were hoping for an appropriate time to suggestively eat phallic-shaped food, here’s your chance. [Refinery29]
