Sukiya restaurant chain runs out of beef

TOKYO, Japan - A customer eats one of the last ''gyudon'' (bowls of rice topped with beef) served at a Sukiya restaurant outlet in Tokyo on Feb. 5. Zensho Co., the operator of the chain, stopped serving ''gyudon'' later in the day after running out of stocks of the meat following the government's ban on U.S. beef. The Tokyo-based Zensho, which operates some 480 outlets across Japan, is the second major gyudon restaurant operator to remove beef dishes from its menus, following Nakau Co., which stopped serving them Monday.

OSAKA, Japan - An outlet of Osaka-based fast-food chain Nakau Co. in Yodogawa Ward informs customers of the removal of a popular beef dish from the menu on Feb. 2. Nakau removed the dish at almost all its outlets across Japan the same day as it has run out of beef inventories under Japan's ban on beef imports from the United States due to mad cow disease there.
