On August 31, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a rare visit to Tokyo's largest fish market. The purpose of the visit was not to promote Japan's seafood cuisine, but to address a controversial issue, the discharge of nuclear wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

A nuclear leak occurred at the Fukushima nuclear power plant after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, resulting in the accumulation of a large amount of nuclear wastewater. The Japanese government has been looking for ways to discharge this wastewater into the ocean to reduce pressure. However, this decision has sparked global attention and controversy.

Fumio Kishida tasted Fukushima octopus at the fish market and praised its taste. His actions were interpreted as support for the Japanese government's handling of the Fukushima nuclear wastewater issue. However, the act has also drawn some criticism. Some argue that as Japan's prime minister, he should be more concerned about the impact of wastewater discharge from the Fukushima nuclear power plant on the environment and marine ecology, rather than engaging in such activities that could exacerbate the controversy.
Taste the octopus
Tokyo's largest fish market is Japan's largest seafood trading center and one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. However, with the growing controversy over the discharge of nuclear wastewater in Fukushima, this market has also become the focus of public attention. Many people worry that if wastewater ends up in the ocean, it could cause serious damage to marine ecology.

Kishida's visit has undoubtedly exacerbated the controversy over this issue. His support is seen by some as an endorsement of the Japanese government's decision, and his involvement has been criticized by some as ignoring the environmental and ecological impact of the Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge.
Overall, the controversy over the discharge of Fukushima's nuclear wastewater has not been eased by Kishida's visit. On the contrary, the focus on the issue is likely to escalate further with the Prime Minister's personal involvement. On this issue, we need more transparency and open discussion to ensure that our decisions do not have irreversible environmental and ecological impacts.
