Then on Friday, a customer reportedly found a portion of cockroaches in a takeaway dish ordered from a socket near JR Akishima station in western Tokyo. The next day, the fast food chain announced that it would temporarily close almost all channels in Japan.

Rat found in Sukiya’s Mio Soup

After a customer posted a picture of a bowl of yu-soup, cockroaches in Sukiya dishes were found for more than a month and a mouse was emitted from the company’s Tottori Minamiyoshikata exit. Some people initially doubted the image, thinking it had been manipulated. However, last week, Sukiya confirmed that this was true. The store was closed for two days. It resumed operations after the local public health center inspected the restaurant.

In a statement on March 22, the company said it was taking steps to prevent insects and pests from entering from outside. However, after the cockroach incident, Sukiya took more serious measures and temporarily closed most stores.
