A viral trend of “sushi terrorism” has nearly crippled an iconic Japanese dining industry, leading to arrests and reforms after the spread of unhygienic pranks.
Viral videos began emerging on social media last year showing people at Japanese “kaitenzushi” conveyor-belt sushi restaurants wiping saliva on a plates of fish, drinking out of community cups of soy sauce — and spraying hand sanitizer in food as dishes rolled past.
Those pranks eventually led to the arrests of three people in Aichi, a Japanese prefecture in central Honshu Island, according to a Thursday report in NBC News.
