Japan eating-out industry enjoying rapid biz recovery

According to The Jiji News, Japan's eating-out industry, including "izakaya" Japanese-style pubs and family restaurants, is enjoying a rapid business recovery after the government lowered the legal classification of COVID-19 in May, according to recent earnings reports from six major companies in the industry.
Zensho Holdings Co., which operates Sukiya "gyudon" beef-on-rice restaurants and other chains, said Thursday that its consolidated net profit in April-June hit a record high above 6.6 billion yen.
