Ed Sheeran Shares His Strangest Food Experience In Japan
In a lighter moment, Ed Sheeran revealed the strangest food he had encountered during his travels. “Fish sperm,” he confessed. “Basically in Japan, they have this… When you go to a sushi or omakase restaurant, it’s basically, like, the chef makes stuff and he puts it down, and it will be like Nilgiri, or other little things. And usually, I think it’s called Shirako. And it’s basically a testicle that you eat and it explodes in your mouth. Some people love it. I’m not a big fan of it.” The audience, including Kapil and Archana Puran Singh, found Sheeran’s honesty both surprising and amusing.
Ed Sheeran’s appearance wasn’t just about music and jokes; it was also a cultural exchange.
