| “I Thought It Was Safe”: Ex-Keyakizaka46 Member Nagasawa Nanako Warns Fans After Sharing Bali Food Poisoning Experience. (Credits: Nanako Nagasawa SNS) |
What was probably meant to be a calm tropical getaway instead became an unexpected reminder that not every country treats raw eggs like Japan does. Sometimes paradise fights back.
Posting on social media, Nagasawa Nanako shared that she experienced stomach pain and fever after eating raw egg during her stay in Bali.
The idol wrote, “I ate raw egg in Bali and got food poisoning. It took a week for my fever to finally go down. Since it was at a hotel restaurant, I thought it would be safe, but are raw eggs in Indonesia really not good?”
Her post quickly gained attention among Japanese fans and online users, especially because raw egg consumption is extremely common in Japan.
From tamago kake gohan to half-cooked dishes served almost casually in daily meals, Japanese food culture has long built a strong trust around raw and lightly cooked ingredients.
In Japan, cracking a raw egg over rice is basically comfort food. In many other places, it is more like a high-risk life decision disguised as breakfast.
The discussion soon expanded beyond Nanako herself and turned into a wider conversation about food safety standards, hygiene differences and travel eating habits abroad.
Many Japanese netizens warned travellers to avoid raw or undercooked foods while visiting Bali, arguing that food handling standards and bacterial tolerance can differ significantly between countries.

Several users also shared their own unpleasant travel experiences in Bali, with complaints ranging from stomach issues to disappointment over restaurant prices and poor food quality.
Some joked that Bali’s café aesthetic often looks more prepared for Instagram than for human digestion. Travellers need to be more cautious about what they consume, particularly when it comes to raw ingredients.
A number of Japanese commenters admitted they now avoid raw dishes entirely while travelling overseas, regardless of how luxurious the hotel or restaurant may appear.
According to many online reactions, the phrase “hotel restaurant” apparently no longer guarantees emotional peace for Japanese tourists abroad.

The conversation also reignited interest in Nagasawa Nanako’s idol career, with fans revisiting her time as part of Keyakizaka46’s first generation lineup. Nanako joined the group in 2015 during the early formation era of the now hugely influential idol brand and remained active until her graduation in March 2020.
While she has largely stepped away from the intense spotlight of idol life, her unexpected Bali food story somehow managed to dominate timelines faster than some entertainment news releases this week, trending on Ameblo.
Fans simply hoped Nagasawa Nanako would return safely to enjoying tropical holidays without accidentally entering a survival challenge every time breakfast arrives.
For now, Nagasawa Nanako appears to be recovering well, but her post has already become one of those strangely relatable travel stories that spreads because almost everyone thinks, “That could genuinely happen to me.”
So the real question is: would you still trust the hotel breakfast buffet after this, or are travellers about to start treating raw eggs overseas like forbidden treasure? Or should she just visit Malaysia instead?
