Sushi Restaurant Under Fire For 'Wasabi Terrorism' And 'Hate Crimes'

A Japanese sushi chain is being called out for seasoning-linked "terrorism" and "hate crimes" against foreign customers. Fujii Shokuhin Co., which manages the Ichibazushi sushi chain in Ibaraki, Osaka, apologized Sunday for the actions of its franchise.

This is relatively old news, but I didn't find out about it until now. A sushi restaurant chain in Osaka was accused of hate crimes for serving excessive amounts of wasabi to foreign (mainly Chinese and Korean) customers. The restaurant's management has apologized, but stated that the policy did not have discriminatory intent, and was simply because foreigners tend to request extra wasabi.
