Sushi Terrorism is a health scandal that occurred in Japan in 2023.
Beginning edit
On January 5, 2023, three young people between the ages of 15 and 21 decided to make a video of them grabbing sushi from a revolving counter of a kaitenzushi from the Sushiro chain in Gifu. Following that, they consume it by stuffing it into their mouths and drinking soy sauce from the neck of a common bottle. On Twitter, the video has been viewed more than 40 million times.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Subsequently, similar videos taken in other restaurants were discovered on Twitter and TikTok. Some seem to have been shot several weeks or even years back.[7] In other videos, the authors do not lick the containers, but put wasabi on the preparations of other customers.[8]
Reaction edit
Of the population edit
A scandal arose in Japan due to these incidents, which are famous for their strict hygiene and cleanliness standards and became known as'sushi-terro' on social media, meaning'sushi terrorism.'[1]
Some people said ː "Kaitenzushi is Japanese culture we can be proud of but actions of few people like that really ruins that."[4]
One of the explanations for the media hype of this case is that these videos play with the taboo of hygiene. The Japanese never shake hands and use masks on a daily basis when they are sick, to protect others, long before the Covid pandemic.[9]
The restaurant chain Kura Sushi, which had been besieged with customer complaints after the video was broadcast, urgently carried out intense cleaning.[10] Attendance of kaitenzushi decreased after this incident.[11]
The high school where one of the young people seen in the video attended received a wave of complaints by phone.[12][8]
Although the author of the video taken in January 2023 apologized, they were not accepted.[13][14]
Economical edit
In the next few days, Sushiro's Food & Life Companies Co Ltd shares fell by nearly 5%.[5][15][16][17][18][19]
The chain responded with a statement stating: “We sincerely hope that these arrests will make society aware that these pranks, which fundamentally undermine our system based on a trusting relationship with customers, are an offence, and that they will not be imitated in the future.”[20] The chain assured to have replaced all the bottles of soy sauce of the restaurant and cleaned all the cups and reinforced its hygiene measures.[21][22][13]
Some restaurants decide to replace sushi conveyor belts with virtual ones.[23]
Others have decided to no longer make seasoning bottles available to customers.[13]
The businessman Takafumi Horie simply proposes to increase the entrance price of restaurants.[24]
In the law edit
A complaint was filed by the company against the three young men who were arrested on March 8th.[25][26][4] Two of them were arrested in the Aichi Prefecture.[7] They face up to three years in prison.[27]
Two other chains, Hama-sushi and Kura Sushi, also announced lawsuits, one planning to install cameras to monitor customers.[16][28]
The company Akindo Sushiro asks one of the three young about 67 million yen.[29]
In politics edit
Asked about this, Agriculture Minister Tetsuro Nomura said: “It is very unfortunate that such an act took place, as it had a significant impact on food industry operators and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will pay special attention to the situation in the future.”[30][31]
