Japan’s New Leader Goes Viral At Last With Cabbage Pancake Photo

The politician set to become Japan’s next prime minister may not be all that savvy on social media -- but a photo of his favorite food struck a chord with Twitter users overnight after he was elected to lead the nation’s ruling party.

While Fumio Kishida’s first post as the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party got a little over 30,000 likes, a picture of his dinner on Wednesday garnered more than four times as many clicks.
