An izakaya in Japan, which was said to be on the verge of shuttering, gained fame and apparently revived its business – after it started offering patrons the service of being slapped on their faces before meals.

At Shachihoko-ya izakaya in Nagoya, there was initially one female staff member who carried out the striking, and each customer received a slap without being charged, according to Chinese-language YouTube channel Save Your Money In Japan, which posted the video on Nov 30.
