International News Regarding The Famous Japanese Dish Onigiri – Rice Balls Made With The Armpit Sweat Of Cute Japanese Girls
Rice balls made from armpits are sold at a very high price, nearly ten times more expensive than the traditional Onigiri at some restaurants.
Of the many food trends in Japan, one stands out: Onigiri, or rice balls.
Young chefs are breaking traditions by taking an unconventional approach to their craft. Instead of the traditional hand-shaping method, the armpit-made Onigiri quickly gained popularity on social media.
According to the SCMP, the guarantee of sanitary precautions is first confirmed by disinfecting each food ingredient and body part, after which they replace their palms with their armpits and begin kneading the rice while sweating.
Armpit rice balls are sold for nearly ten times the price of traditional Onigiri at some restaurants. Food lovers have expressed a wide range of feelings about these armpit-crafted and sweat-coated desserts, from disgust to admiration.
Some customers claim there is no taste difference between the actual product and its vegan counterparts, while others can’t get their heads around the innovative yet potentially creepy concept of meat being made from plants. As a response to this diversity of opinion, some restaurants demonstrate how their rice balls are prepared for curious diners.
Scholars have also shared insights into the cultural and physiological implications of this phenomenon. According to the SCMP report, a study conducted in 2013 delves into the distinct importance of armpits, proposing that sweat from this region contains pheromones capable of influencing human emotions when sensed or tasted.
While this trend has grown in popularity, not everyone has embraced it. It has sparked discussions on social media, with supporters arguing that as long as hygiene standards are followed, there is no harm in embracing innovative culinary methods. Skeptics, on the other hand, are concerned about the potential health risks associated with this unconventional preparation approach.
One person posted on Japanese social media, “These rice balls can satisfy the taboo desires of a few people, as long as they are hygienic, there is no harm.” Another said it was “unacceptable,” and asked, “What if the chef has a hidden illness? “I would rather eat regular rice balls.”
Although arguments continue to rage online, keep in mind that Japanese cuisine is and will always be unrestrained and unconventional, introducing the world to dishes such as raw horse meat known as Basashi, fermented soybeans known as Natto, and whale meat known as Kujira (to name a few).
