Japanese man finds live frog in takeaway udon cup

India Today -- May 31
A Japanese man ordered takeaway from a popular restaurant chain but he was not prepared for what he saw inside.

The man named Kaito (@kaito09061) was horrified to find a live frog in a cup of udon noodles, and that too, when he had almost finished eating most of it. For the uninitiated, udon is a thick noodle made from wheat flour, used in Japanese cuisine. Kaito was on a business trip when he ordered takeaway from a popular restaurant chain.

To his horror, he spotted a live frog at the bottom of the cup. The food was ordered from Marugame Seimen, a Japanese fast-casual restaurant chain that specialises in udon. He was eating Spicy Dandan Salad Udon that came in a cup. The dish requires customers to shake its contents well before consumption.

Kaito shared a video and picture on Twitter and along with it, he wrote how he suddenly found the frog in his dish.
