Following this they have softened their stance on admitting heavyset and 'slightly older customers, but the by adjusting the rules somewhat by allowing, ‘anyone aged from 20 to 120’. A look at some other interesting trivia and the 'rules' that the soon to be inaugurated establishment has...
>> The restaurant interestingly carries an Indian name - 'The Amrita'.
>> Although the management has scrapped rules regarding refusing entry to patrons above the average weight, they however won't allow anyone sporting tattooes, since body art is generally associated with the Yakuza or the Japanese mafia. In fact, several establishments around Japan refuse entry to tattooed men and women on such grounds.
>> Before scrapping the rule of refusing admittance to overweight customers, the restaurant had an unique exception to the rule. If a patron is overweight but attractive, he/she may be granted entry on the manager's discretion.
>> An advanced payment would be required at the time of reservation, which would be returned in case the customers were turned away.
>> The Amrita has a no-gadgets policy, with customers being requested to lock away their smartphones or tablets.
