Japanese ambassador to India Hiroshi Suzuki’s culinary ‘contest’ with his wife involving Indian street food caught Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attention on Sunday with him asking the Japan envoy to keep more of his food videos coming.
Japanese ambassador to India Hiroshi Suzuki shared a post on Twitter of him enjoying culinary delights with his wife in Pune. Suzuki tweeted a video montage of them enjoying culinary delights in Pune such as ‘vada pav’, with his wife opting for spicy food and the envoy for less spicy.
“My wife beat me!," read Suzuki’s tweet with a chilli emoji.
Responding to this, PM Modi tweeted, “This is one contest you may not mind losing, Mr. Ambassador."
