TOKYO (AP) - A Japanese restaurant chain plans to resume serving U.S. beef soon at dozens of its branches nationwide, company officials said Saturday. It would be the first to do so since Tokyo eased an import ban over concerns about mad cow disease.
Zenshoku, based in the western Osaka prefecture (state), said it will offer U.S. beef at its 57 Korean barbecue restaurants across Japan, but company spokeswoman Tae Okuda said no date has been set yet.
Japan's business daily Nihon Keizai reported earlier that the chain planned to introduce American beef as early as Tuesday.
