Sugiyama is not a real chef—and admitted as much—but was offering a real plate of penis. The 22 year-old Sugiyama is also not man or a woman; the illustrator is asexual and prefers not to be called "he" or "she".

Five diners (the 6th one didn't show up) paid the equivalent of US$250 to dine on his bait and tackle, signing a waiver to release Sugiyama and the event organizers of responsibility. The illustrator claimed to be disease-free and had not started going through female hormone therapy. Sugiyama's genitals were functioning properly prior to the $12,000 operation earlier this spring and measured about 6.3 inches when erect.
