“Sweaty” onigiri: in Japan they offer to taste rice from a girl’s armpit (6 photos)
The Japanese are still perverts. It seemed to them that selling used underpants was not enough - now local restaurants serve rice balls molded by the sweaty armpits of cooks.
Onigiri is a classic Japanese food made from boiled rice with a filling inside it. A dish in the form of balls or triangles is usually sculpted by hand, but for special connoisseurs, local restaurants have come up with a new dish.
The rice is placed in the armpit of a young girl, who presses down the mass, giving it the desired shape. The result is a not-quite-ball of savory seasoning in the form of the cook's sweat.
Such onigiri are sold at a price 10 times more expensive than regular ones, but this does not bother anyone - the delicacy is in fair demand.
All cooks undergo a medical examination and can vouch for their health. For the squeamish, they also say that before sculpting, the girl disinfects her armpit with a napkin.
Those who have eaten these onigiri say that they taste exactly the same as traditional ones.
It’s just that, perhaps, the very fact that the ball was lying in the girl’s sweaty armpit makes this food more desirable and exciting. However, there are also negative reviews about “sweaty” onigiri - one Japanese complained that the rice balls delivered home from the restaurant quickly spoiled and had an unbearable smell.
Some establishments, according to media reports, offer visitors the opportunity to watch onigiri being prepared in an open kitchen area.
