Fancy an onigiri?
One of Japan’s oldest snacks is getting a bizarre twist – infused with armpit sweat.
Young Japanese women prepare the onigiri – a delicious combination of vegetables and meat inside a rice ball that is wrapped in seaweed – and shape it into a ball using their armpits, South China Morning Post reported yesterday.
The report said all the ingredients and the body parts they come into contact with are disinfected.
The onigiri with a twist is then sold at fancy restaurants, fetching for as much as 10 times that of regular rice balls, SCMP said.
A diner who tried the armpit delicacy said there was no difference in taste, the report added.
