Amid the controversy over 'scaffold pork belly' in Korea, pork, which is mostly fat, is also sold in Japan, causing controversy.

One netizen posted a photo of Iberico pork served by a famous Japanese shabu-shabu chain on his X (X, old Twitter).

In the picture, most of the two-serving pork for shabu shabu is white covered with fat.



The publisher said it was shocking because of the scaffolding portion when the pork was served with vegetables. He "Is this called marbling?", he pointed out.

However, he explained that the fat did not melt in the process of soaking it in hot broth and that he ate it deliciously.



The video is attracting attention enough to receive more than 22 million views and 150,000 'likes' within a week of its release.

Why didn't netizens complain to the businesses that "Pieces of fat disguised as pork"?", "Is Iberico pork supposed to be like this?", He leaves a post saying, "I don't think I can eat two plates."



In an interview with Japanese media, a company official said, `Iberico pork is originally fat, but if it was only a picture posted, it should not have been sold at the store,' adding, `If the customer wanted it, they would have exchanged it.'

It also added that "we will try not to provide our guests with food that is too greasy.'
