Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday reacted to Japan's ambassador to India, Hiroshi Suzuki's recent tweet in which he shared a video of him and his wife enjoying local food in Pune at various spots. Suzuki posted that his wife is winning the 'spice' race considering how she doesn't mind the spicy food while he could be seen asking for less spice in his food.

PM Modi reshared Suzuki's tweet and wrote, “This is one contest you may not mind losing, Mr Ambassador. Good to see you enjoying India’s culinary diversity and also presenting it in such an innovative manner. Keep the videos coming!”

Suzuki was in the city for an event; he posted a video where he and his wife can be seen enjoying Maharashtrian-style street food in Pune. Suzuki had one minor complaint, which is the high spice level, following which he went viral.

The caption of the video reads, “I love street food of India ...but thoda teekha kam please!”

Based on the recommendation by his Twitter followers, the Japanese envoy also tried Pune's famous misal pav. "Because many followers recommended me...! MisalPav," the envoy posted.

He put out another Twitter video saying he wanted a "little less spicy.”
