Indian Athletes Adapt to Japanese Food for Asian Games

Indian Athletes Adapt to Japanese Food for Asian Games

Indian athletes are getting ready for the Asian Games in Japan.

They are learning to eat Japanese food like sushi and onigiri, and they are also learning about Japanese customs.

The Sports Authority of India is helping by serving Japanese food at their training centers.

The athletes are being taught to use chopsticks, bow as a greeting, and keep quiet on the team bus.

This is to make sure they feel comfortable and respect the local culture when they go to Japan for the games.

Some athletes are finding it hard to get used to the new food, but the organizers are trying their best to help.
