Always be very skeptical about “Japan weird” stories that don’t cite a specific store or person or place. I’m not saying that this particular story isn’t real, but this kind of shit gets made up all the time for clicks.
in this case i wouldn’t rule out it was originally made up because somebody was horny and then later turned their fantasy into an article.
One of the things I’ve noticed about reporting on Japan is how eager journalists are to attribute one-off or rare occurrences to the entire country.
Its like if someone wrote an article about “Britain’s gamer girl bathwater” and trying to make it sound like the whole country is in on it.
Stuff like this that really puts into perspective how much of this is just marketing speak, like delicacy and “high-end” is really just shit you can call anything you want if you have enough confidence and clout.
why is this in the “trending in china” section when it’s trending in japan?
“muh Orient”
Greater China
All the world belongs to the true son of heaven :it-is-known:oh wow this “it is known” emoji. hexbear is such a joy.
CHINA
…now that we have your attention: armpits
The article talks about social media posts, maybe it’s there because the story itself is trending in China? Not sure tbh.
is it only “bizarre” because it’s japan? because you can’t convince me this is any more strange than gamer girl bath water
gamer girl bath water is extremely bizarre though
no doubt, but I’m always suspicious of “japan weird” stories, because they appeal to the very white supremacist refusal to understand any culture that isn’t their own in any meaningful depth, and to instead point and jeer ar it
They’re racist because they always cast the out group (Japan) as homogeneously holding the same opinions and preferences whereas Westoids are presented as individuals.

Restaurants promote armpit technique, allow customers in kitchen to watch

Restaurants promote armpit technique, allow customers in kitchen to watch
Truly the worst part of this. Imagine working in a kitchen and having the customers watch and complain.
Damn, things are finally turning around for cute girls.
Finally, a small business market made just for me.
I’m attracted to women, but damn this made me cringe.
Being attracted to women but not particularly liking it when they’re objectified is the least women-attracted people could do.
You have to put salt and water on your hands to season the rice and keep the rice from totally sticking to them. How would that even work for the armpitgiri? Even if you’re super sweaty, that shit is probably going to be sticking to your skin and making a mess.
Gots to make it salty.
I’m surprised that schoolgirls aren’t involved. Japan, sheesh.
I’m guessing this is like one place in Tokyo but now it’s a “delicacy in Japan” cuz “Japan weird” makes a good headline.
