Japanese Bartender Selling Cocktails Containing His Own 'Blood'

Sale of Blood-Mixed Cocktails Due to Customer Request
Cafe Takes Measures Including Employee Dismissal and Equipment Replacement

It was revealed that an employee at a caf? in Japan mixed their own blood into cocktails and sold them.

On the 13th, the New York Post and other outlets reported that a staff member at 'Mondaiji Konkafe Taku' in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, was fired after making cocktails with their own blood.

The employee reportedly mixed blood into a cocktail called 'Origaku' at the customer's request.

The caf? management publicly apologized, calling the employee's actions "absolutely unacceptable," and immediately dismissed the staff member.

They also suspended operations for a day to replace all cups and liquor bottles in the caf?.

On the 2nd, the caf? management posted an apology on Twitter stating, "This is no different from physical terrorism. We apologize for causing concern," and advised those who drank the 'Origaku' cocktail to visit a hospital for testing.

Dr. Zento Kitao told the media, "Drinking someone else's blood is a very dangerous act."

He added, "Although it is rare to get infected by drinking another person's blood, major diseases such as HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and syphilis can be transmitted through blood. If there are wounds in the mouth, infection through blood transmission is more likely."

Dr. Kitao publicly urged both the employee and the customers who consumed the blood-contaminated drinks to undergo testing for all types of bloodborne diseases.

The New York Post compared this 'blood terrorism' to the recent series of 'sushi hygiene terrorism' incidents in Japan. 'Sushi hygiene terrorism' refers to intentional contamination acts such as spitting on sushi moving on conveyor belts or spitting into cups and then placing them back on display. Last month, three people were arrested in Japan for such terrorism.
