A preferred fast-food chain in Japan will shut down for a number of days following stories of rat-infested miso soup.
Sukiya, the nation’s largest beef bowl chain, stated it will stop operations Monday at roughly 2,000 areas nationwide for 4 days beginning in a press release posted on their web site Saturday.
The corporate, which is owned by eating titan Znesho Holdings, publicly apologized final weekend for serving miso soup that contained a rodent at one in every of its western Japan areas in January.
By Monday, Zensho shares declined as a lot as 7%.
Including insult to damage, the corporate confessed Saturday that they’d suffered a second contamination Friday, when a suburban Tokyo retailer served a dish containing a bug.
In consequence, they introduced that each one of its 1,965 areas in Japan – aside from a small quantity in purchasing malls – could be closed from the morning of March 31 in an effort to take measures to forestall additional infestations. They plan to reopen on the morning of April 4.
“We take very severely the truth that this incident has occurred,” Sukiya stated. “We deeply apologize to our clients.”
Sukiya operates round 650 shops throughout China, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
