Diners arrested for chopstick contamination in Japan.

Two men in Japan were arrested for contaminating a communal container of pickled ginger at a Yoshinoya restaurant chain as part of a prank. The incident was recorded and shared on social media, leading to the temporary closure of the restaurant to discard all of its ginger and clean its containers. The men have admitted to the charges against them and could face up to three years in prison and a fine for obstructing business and property destruction. The arrests come at a time when conveyor belt sushi restaurants are dealing with the aftermath of the “sushi terrorism” trend.
