Japan’s Foreign Minister became a fan of Indian sweets, gave a unique reaction after tasting it, video goes viral

After concluding his program for the Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting, Japan’s Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi posted a cute video on social media, which is going viral.

This video was not about any geopolitical meeting, but in the context of Indian sweets. Let us tell you that Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi has become a fan of Indian sweets and filter coffee.

Motegi became a fan of Indian taste

After wrapping up his schedule for the Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting, Motegi shared a video on Instagram before returning to Japan, showing a calmer and far more relaxed side of his visit to India. In this video, he can be seen sipping South Indian style filter coffee and tasting Gulab Jamun. In the video, Motegi also reflected on how India is associated with tea globally, but also pointed out that the country is also among the top coffee producing countries in the world. “When people think of Indian beverages, tea is definitely the first thing that comes to mind,” he said, and then he added, “Coffee, especially in South India where it is cultivated extensively, is deeply ingrained in the everyday culture.” “It definitely has a roasted, stronger flavor, but because of the milk, it has a different smoothness and sweetness,” he said, taking a sip in front of the camera.

Gulab Jamun’s reaction went viral

However, his reaction regarding Gulab Jamun surprised everyone. Holding the syrup-soaked sweet in her hand, Motegi described it as a classic Indian sweet that is “somewhat donut-like,” and said she had heard travel magazines refer to it as “the sweetest dessert in the world.” Shortly after, after taking a bite of Gulab Jamun, the look on his face said it all. “Wow! That’s delicious! Really amazing,” he said, and then jokingly admitted that the dessert was delicious but also “too sweet,” leading him to immediately take another sip of his coffee.
