foods fraud in Japan

 I found this article on The Japan Times.

These days, more and more restaurants have apologized for their food fraud since Hankyu Hanshin Hotel were reported to misreported their ingredients. Including Hankyu Hotel, almost all of hotels used cheaper ingredients than the ingredients labeled on the menu. Now, it is discussed in Japan that government should make a law to label the ingredient to restaurants.

As you know, many restaurants have held apologies interview with rapidly, and we often see it on the TV. According to the article, government requires food companies to label detail ingredients information on their products. However, they do not force restaurants to do that. I was so disappointed on this news. I thought Japan is safer than other countries and proud of their strict food rules. However, not only Hankyu Hotel, but also many other restaurants had done that. To recover evaluation of Japan, government should require restaurants to label ingredients exactly like food companies, otherwise, we will lost many foreign tourists.
