Japan’s public safety chief has come under fire for his remark that he enjoyed eel rice so much that he kept eating after his agency informed him of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s narrow escape from a pipe bomb attack two weeks ago.
Japan’s safety chief has come under fire for continuing to eat his eel rice, a local delicacy, after he was informed that Prime Minister Kishida narrowly escape from a pipe bomb attack.
Japan's public safety chief said on April 25 he kept eating a "delicious" bowl of grilled eel rice even as he was notified about an attack that apparently targeted Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during election campaigning earlier this month, immediately triggering a backlash from opposition parties.
