A restaurant in Japan says it will take legal action against a student who was videoed licking his fingers and then touching its conveyor belt sushi.
The Instagram Stories video, which is no longer available for viewing, shows a young student directly licking a soy sauce bottle and a cup before placing it back. Anxiously looking around, the boy continues by sucking on his finger and using it to touch sushi circling on the conveyor belts.
At the end of the 48-second clip, the student can be seen smiling and giving a thumbs up. The video was reportedly viewed over 22 million times.
Although the original video has been taken down, Twitter users re-uploaded the viral video.
