Koki Shishido, a Japanese travel vlogger living in India, is popular for exploring the country’s rich culture and cuisine. Shishido recently introduced Hajmola, an Indian digestive tablet with a strong sweet and sour taste, to his friends and family in Japan.

In the now-viral video, Shishido is seen asking his folks to try Hajmola tablets and capturing their hilarious reactions. ‘Aaahhh’, screamed the first person the moment he popped a tablet.

Most of the Japanese people featured in the video didn’t like the taste of the tablet, but a couple who runs a restaurant found it interesting. “The couple who runs the spice curry restaurant loved Hajmola,” he says.
