Ghoul Restaurant

Operating as a hidden society with a strict entry system, the Ghoul Restaurant gathers members who tend to come from the wealthier ranks of ghoul society. The organization exists to furnish human flesh to its attendees, treating cannibalism as an exclusive social occasion rather than mere feeding.

The society's signature event is the so-called Dismantling Show. Unsuspecting humans are lured in as guests, told to wash and dress in formal attire, then trapped in an arena with a human captive known as the Scrapper. Trained to turn each killing into a spectacle, the Scrapper slaughters the victims for the amusement of the watching members, after which the staff prepare the corpses and serve them at the table.

The branch shown most in the story stood in the 7th Ward before Kaneki's group tore it down. Other outlets were rumored to exist, and the CCG's Auction Mopping-up Operation later confirmed they belonged to a sprawling network of black-market trade and human trafficking. The killings of Big Madam and Nutcracker dealt that whole enterprise a heavy blow.

The 7th Ward branch counted Shuu Tsukiyama among its ranks before he broke away, alongside figures such as Mitarai, the man calling himself Souta, Maiko Abe under the name Madam A, and Rou. A separate branch answered to Big Madam and included Mirumo Tsukiyama and the killer Nutcracker with her partner. Victims run from Kobachi and Ami, who died, to Ken Kaneki, who lived through his ordeal. The role of Scrapper fell to captives like Taro and, in another branch, Juuzou Suzuya, who was eventually rescued, while the Yasuhisa twins Kurona and Nashiro once served Madam A as bodyguards.
