The latest “food terrorists” in Japan have been arrested in Osaka after a video showing one of them eating pickled ginger directly from a communal container at beef bowl chain Yoshinoya was posted on social media. In the video, a man is seen using a pair of chopsticks...

The video was recorded at a Yoshinoya branch in Osaka’s Suminoe ward around 3am on Sept 29, 2022.

The police began investigations only in 2023, after the offending clip was uploaded and circulated later on an undisclosed date. The eatery made a police report in February, more than four months after the incident. Founded in 1899, Yoshinoya has outlets in major cities in Japan, and more than 2,700 outlets in other Asian countries and the United States.

“It was big news that made customers feel uncomfortable and uneasy, with the safety and security of not only our company but also the restaurant as a whole questioned,” a Yoshinoya spokesman told Japanese newspaper Nikkan Sports. “It was very regrettable and I sincerely hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future.”

Several incidents dubbed sushi terrorism – unhygienic acts involving food in Japanese restaurants – have led to unrest in Japan, a country with famously high standards of cleanliness, after the acts were filmed and circulated on social media platforms.
