PM Modi replies to Japanese envoy's creative tweets on sampling street-food in Pune

Japanese ambassador to India Hiroshi Suzuki’s creatively done Twitter post on enjoying the delights of Indian street-food with his wife on a visit to Pune, drew Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attention. Modi praised the envoy for presenting India’s culinary diversity in an innovative manner and asked him to ‘keep the videos coming!’

It all happened when Suzuki, who is in Pune for an event, posted a video on Twitter of his wife and him tasting Maharashtrian street food and it went viral. Suzuki tweeted a short montage enjoying Pune’s culinary delights such as vada pav with his wife. But, he refused to bite into a chilli offered to him by his wife.

My wife beat me!🌶#Pune #Kolhapuri pic.twitter.com/JsM1LxcRK5
