Japanese travel vlogger Koki Shishido recently shared a hilarious Instagram video documenting his family and friends’ reactions to India’s tangy and spicy Hajmola tablets. For many Indians, Hajmola is a nostalgic treat, but for first-timers, its bold flavor can be quite a shock.
Koki’s grandparents were the first to try Hajmola, and their reactions didn’t disappoint. Their faces contorted with surprise as they experienced the intense mix of spicy, tangy, and salty flavors. Koki humorously captioned this part with, “Sorry for mera dada aur dada ji.”
His friends were next, and their exaggerated reactions included startled screams of “Aaahhh!” Koki wittily added, “India is not for beginners,” perfectly summing up their shock. However, a couple running a spice curry restaurant found the tablet intriguing, showcasing their spice expertise.
In the video’s comedic finale, Koki boldly consumes four Hajmola tablets at once, much to the amusement of viewers.
The clip has gone viral, garnering over 600,000 views. Comments flooded in, ranging from, “They’ll need water after that!” to “Hajmola should come with a warning for the unprepared.” Many praised the spice-loving couple for handling the shock better than others, with one user commenting, “Only spice experts can survive this.”
This video serves as a delightful cultural exchange, highlighting the universal appeal of trying something new and the laughter it often brings.
