Need a smoke? Head to the trendy Smoke Friends House, in Shibuya and allow the sexy ladies there to give you a ‘Shag’! Japan is known to be very liberal about smoking laws and it is generally acceptable for people to smoke in public places. With an effort to make it a novel and sexy experience, the team behind the Smoke Friends House have introduced the first “Shag Bar’. Before you think otherwise, let me clarify that shag is the tradition of hand rolling tobacco.

I believe that a shag is a sea bird in the cormorant family. THE Japanese have used them for centuries to catch fish for them. Not willingly I stress.I have to say that the cormorants/shags are restrained from swallowing by a ligature around their necks, Cruel ennit?

Re: Japanese shag bars
Not cruel at all really, the birds are hand reared from chicks and handled with great care,daily head massages etc and it takes a skilled 'master' 3 yrs to train a bird, it's only done now as a yearly tradition, also the birds while wearing the 'snare' are able to swallow small fish and also wear a light body harness so that if they get tired the 'master' can help the bird from the water, they're very well looked after and in the old days helped many poor families to surviveAnyway, this was s'posed to be light hearted frippery about shags in bars not shags fishing from rocks while being strangled! tut-tut!
