Mexico Files Diplomatic Complaint Over Matcha Burritos Sold in Japan

Japanese convenience store chain 7-Eleven launched a "Matcha Azuki Mochi Burrito" — a flour tortilla filled with matcha paste, red bean and mochi — and Mexican tourists posted it, setting off an online uproar over the modification of a national dish. Mexico's foreign ministry responded with a mock diplomatic note to Japan, attaching a flour tortilla, a bag of bayo beans and a photo of an authentic burrito, and warning the concept could spread to tacos or tamales. Officials said commercial sanctions, or dispatching a taquero to demonstrate proper technique, remain on the table.
