Japanese police brutally arrested a foreign tourist, wrapped him like a sushi roll and threw him toward a police car, which is being called "sushi processing"!
In recent days, a video was exposed, which roughly shows a foreign tourist in Japan being controlled by the police for suspected disorder. In the video, the police quickly used a special binding technique called "osabaki," which Da Ge checked and confirmed does exist, known as "osae komi + hibari," which involves wrapping the person's entire body, with movements as smooth as rolling sushi — limbs are fixed, the body is tightly wrapped, making it almost impossible to move, and then he was directly carried toward the police car. This scene was captured by an onlooker, and the term "sushi processing" quickly went viral online.
Japanese police have long used a specialized restraint tool called "kenshin kyūjō taisō" or "osabaki taisō," which aims to restrict suspects' movements without using handcuffs, to avoid the "stigma" of metal restraints — this stems from Japanese society's high sensitivity to "criminal records" and "stains." This restraint method emphasizes efficiency and safety, but due to its appearance resembling food packaging, especially the wrapping technique of sushi, it has been humorously referred to as "sushi processing" by the outside world.
Japan has long worked hard to maintain its "tourism country" image, yet it has been rough with foreign tourists. If the law enforcement methods continue to cause controversy, it may deter some potential tourists. The key point is that they never dare to treat tourists from Western countries this way. This bias may be the true reflection of Japan's position.
