On March 30, Shiqijia, the largest beef rice chain store in Japan, published a statement on its official website on Saturday, announcing that most of Japan’s nearly 2000 stores (except some stores in shopping centers) will be temporarily closed for 4 days from next Monday to implement thorough disinfection and sterilization measures, because customers have found “foreign matter mixed” in miso soup and meals in Japanese stores. According to previous reports, Shanshang Holdings (7550. T), the parent company of Shijia, apologized last weekend for the appearance of mice in the miso soup of a branch of Shijia West Japan during a lunar eclipse. Subsequently, the stock price plummeted by more than 5% on Monday. In Saturday’s statement, Shiqijia stated that there was also an incident of food mixed with insects at another store in the suburbs of Tokyo on Friday.
