A popular conveyor belt sushi chain in Japan is now taking action against people who have filmed videos of themselves ruining other diners’ meals to post on social media.
One of the incidents reportedly occurred at a Hamasushi branch in early January. A now-viral video filmed there shows a man putting wasabi on sushi ordered by another diner as their plate passes by him. A repost of the four-second clip has already amassed over 132,000 views.
