    Japan introduces armpit sweat-infused rice balls

    Sweat-infused rice balls, shaped in the armpits of young pretty girls is a surprising culinary hit in Japan.

    The rice ball snack, locally known as onigiri, is a traditional food item in Japan. The recipe has been given a culinary twist which is making waves locally and said to fetch prices as high as ten times those of regular Onigiri in certain restaurants.

    According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), young women use their armpits to shape the balls in this new bizarre twist to the onigiri. Strict measures are taken to ensure hygiene and safety in the process. Before commencing, all ingredients and body parts that will come into contact with the food undergo thorough disinfection. The chefs then partake in physical activity to induce sweating, using their armpits instead of their hands to shape the rice balls.

    As per SCMP, a diner who tried the new version expressed that it is not different or does not have a distinctive flavour from the usual taste of rice balls.

    President of the United States of America Joe Biden and his most popular opponent Donald Trump are on the same page when it comes to students protests in America.

    The assumed Republican US presidential candidate described New York police officers brutally raiding a Columbia University building occupied by pro-Palestinian as a “beautiful thing to watch”. He appreciated them for doing a good job against “raging lunatics and Hamas sympathizers.”

    On the other hand, Joe Biden insisted that “order must prevail” as college campuses across the country face a wave of violence, outrage, and fear. He largely dismissed protesters’ demands, which have included ending U.S. support for Israeli military operations. Asked after his remarks whether the demonstrations would prompt him to consider changing course, Biden responded with a simple “no”, reported AP News.

    Previously, Biden condemned “antisemitic protests” and “those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”
