A traditional Japanese food has taken the internet by storm, with many expressing shock and disbelief at its unusual preparation method.
The dish, made from rice, is shaped into small balls using the armpit sweat of women who follow strict hygiene rules to ensure cleanliness.
According to reports, the women involved in preparing the rice balls disinfect their armpits before sweating and then use their sweaty armpits to shape the rice into small balls. The unique dish is then sold at a surprisingly high price, which has not deterred locals from buying it.
Social media users have been quick to react, with many expressing concerns about the hygiene and safety of consuming such a dish. "What if the chef gets sick?" asked one user, while others have simply expressed disbelief at the unusual preparation method.
Despite the online frenzy, the dish remains popular among locals, who appreciate its unique flavor and texture. The use of armpit sweat is believed to add a special element to the dish, which is not found in traditional rice balls.
While some have expressed concerns about the dish, others have praised its innovative preparation method and the cultural significance it holds. As with any food, there are always risks involved, but for now, the dish remains a popular and talked-about item in Japan.
