Usually onigiri comes in various flavors. However, there is another unique onigiri that is currently trending in Japan. This onigiri is made by adding armpit scent to it. What makes people shake their heads is that this scented onigiri is sold at a higher price.

Onigiri is one of the oldest snacks in Japan. The way to make it is actually easy. The rice ball, which has been filled with meat and vegetables, is shaped into a ball using hands before being wrapped with seaweed.

Now there is a new way of making onigiri in Japan that is unique but instead makes people feel disgusted. A young Japanese woman has discovered a new way to shape onigiri rice balls using her armpit.

"Claimed to Remain Hygienic"

So, before the onigiri is made, all parts of the body that come into contact with the rice head are disinfected first. This is claimed to be able to keep the ingredients for making onigiri clean and hygienic.

The price is even more expensive.

As reported by the South China Morning Post, onigiri made by being clamped under the armpit has gone viral. The aromatic onigiri was sold at high prices in several restaurants in Japan. It is even rumored that some sell it at a price 10 times higher than regular rice balls.

Uniquely, some restaurants there allow visitors to witness the making of aromatic onigiri.

Fans of Onigiri are divided.

Those who have tried this armpit-scented rice ball claim that it tastes no different from regular onigiri. Some restaurant visitors admit that onigiri made by being squeezed in the armpit tastes even more delicious.

The presence of onigiri with armpit scent has sparked controversy on social media. Some people want to try it, while many others feel disgusted. "I think this rice ball can satisfy the 'strange' desires of some people, as long as they are hygienic, there is no problem," said a netizen. "This is unacceptable. What if the person who makes it has a disease? I prefer to eat regular rice balls," added another netizen.
