Japan’s Foreign Minister, Toshimitsu Motegi, recently won over social media after trying out some classic Indian treats during his official trip to New Delhi.

What happened?

Minister Motegi was in the Capital for the important Quad meetings. But once the hard work was done, he decided to unwind with a true Indian comfort meal before catching his flight back to Tokyo.

He shared a video of himself enjoying a hot cup of South Indian filter coffee paired with a warm plate of gulab jamun.

The reaction

Looking completely delighted, the Japanese diplomat smiled at the camera and said, “It’s very sweet, like a donut!” The candid clip quickly went viral on social media, with many praising his willingness to try local flavours.

Just a day earlier, the minister proved he could handle the authentic Delhi experience when he shot a video updating his followers about the summit right from the middle of Delhi’s bustling traffic under the hot sun.
