Japan PM eats 'safe and delicious' Fukushima fish amid nuclear plant water row

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida dines on Fukushima fish in a renewed public relations effort to support Japanese seafood, after wastewater was released from the area's crippled nuclear plant into the Pacific.

The clip is part of a bid to promote products from the wider Sanriku Joban area, 12 years after Fukushima was devastated by a huge earthquake and tsunami that triggered one of the world's worst nuclear disasters.

The conservative leader joined three other ministers in his office for sashimi fish slices, boiled pork, fruits, rice and various vegetables.
