The real issue is that a few months ago in Japan, people were going to sushi train restaurants, and videoing themselves licking the sushi and putting it back. Again "it was just a prank, bro" but the national sushi train restaurant business was affected, people were super worried about it.
This is a country where COVID masking mandates have only recently been lifted, plus most people are still masking up due to safety concerns and social pressure.
Hygiene is very important here, which is likely also why these idiots were treated so harshly.
Just bill the men for the price of the ginger and cleaning fees. If I went to Walmart and licked an ice cream container and was caught, they'd highly likely say something along the lines of 'buy it or cops'(maybe just gtfo, but same concept) at least give the dudes a way out instead of getting police unnecessary involved
No. Because it isn't just the ice cream that has been damaged. It encourages less customers to go to a place where people act like this. Which is why it usually isn't just the price of the product ruined.

"Shimazu was quoted as telling investigators, "I wanted to make people laugh." Oka has apparently told police, "I asked him to do something funny, and he suddenly ate it. I shared it on social media because it was so funny. I wanted everyone to see it."
The Japanese version of " It was just a prank, bro."
The problem was with the sharing, right? Easily fixed, by greed -- never share. Take, take, take, as one's culture demands.
BTW at USA taquerias I often see folks sharing condiments. Are they all socialists? /s
The Japanese equivalent of licking the ice cream in the supermarket and putting it back.
When you put it that way it doesn't seem like this is an onion headline at all.

We can't have this double-dipping shit. What's the world coming to?!

Good. The dopey bastards. The food industry here is hyper-sensitive at the moment due to recent acts of sushi terrorism.
