Recently, Japanese media have exposed many food hygiene scandals, among which the big-name chain restaurant company "big houses".

In addition to the indecent videos of "Big House", there has also been a scandal in the Japanese slalom sushi chain "Tiang Sushi".
This video records a clerk at the "Tiang Sushi" Momoguchi Shop in Osaka City. He threw the cut fish into the garbage can and picked it up and put it back on the cutting board.

In addition, Japan's famous large convenience chain 7-11 was also exposed to chaos such as "employees licking goods", "wiping the floor with food and frying it for customers to eat".
Just last month, a video of 7-11 clerks taking out food from the pot of Kanto cooking for another clerk to eat, and then another clerk boiled Kanto and spit it back in the pot quickly spread online.

Most cutting-edge
1. Aiqian's annual performance turned losses into profits, a year-on-year increase of 213.2%
On the evening of March 20, Aiqian (China) announced its annual performance announcement. As of December 31, 2018, Aiqian (China) revenue was 2.378 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.9%;
restaurant sales were 2.218 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%; the company's gross profit was 1.793 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%.
The performance released in this annual report shows that the company's shareholders' profit attributable to shareholders was 551 million yuan, an increase of 213.2% year-on-year compared with the loss of 487 million yuan in 2017.
This also verifies the previous announcement of a positive profit warning issued by Aichen (China) on March 12, and the company's performance turned losses into profits in 2018.
revenue and restaurant business sales are the first increase since the company continued to decline in 2015.
However, the internal management of Aichen Ramen was also a mess. On March 14, 2019, it announced that its Chief Financial Officer Liu Jiahao misappropriated approximately HK$23.637 million in cheque fraud, and the outside world was in an uproar. In fact, in 2012, Liu Jiahao was exposed to embezzlement of public funds, but the amount was not very large.
Although Aixin (China) turned losses into profits in 2018, internal chaos and external pressure made this old brand, which is nearly 50 years old, still has a little bit of trouble. Not only Aichi, but also many other old-fashioned brands are facing the urgent need for brand rejuvenation and product innovation transformation.

2. The price of Japanese eel seedlings has increased nearly 8 times in ten years. Trade may be banned in the future
The Japanese eel fry "white seed eel" known as the "white diamond" is ushering in a fishing peak, but this year Japan can hardly catch fry.
According to the " Nihon Keizai Shimbun " report on the 18th, as the number of catches hits a new low, the trading price of eel fry soared, from 380,000 yen per kilogram 10 years ago to 2.99 million yen (about 180,000 yuan) in 2018.
This directly caused the price of traditional Japanese food eel rice to soar, causing many Japanese families to "can't afford eel rice".
It is reported that Japan is the country with the most eels in the world. It is precisely because of the love of eating eels that Japanese eel production has dropped dramatically year by year.
Now, Japanese eel has been listed as an endangered species by the World Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the degree of endangerment is the same as that of Chinese giant pandas and red-crowned crane .
Read sir Comment: It seems that "eating a species to endangered" is not a Chinese stunt.
3. Japan's largest coffee and dessert chain store withdrew from the mainland Chinese market
On March 18, Mister Donut, Japan's largest coffee and dessert chain brand, issued an announcement stating that it will stop operating in all 10 stores in Shanghai from March 25.
Currently, Mister Donut has only 10 stores in the mainland in Shanghai, which means that all Mister Donut's stores in the mainland will be closed in the future, and the company has not disclosed its next plan.
Mister Donut is a coffee donut chain founded in the United States in 1956. In the early years, the company's biggest competitor was Dunkin’ Donuts. By the 1990s, most of Mister Donut's stores in North America had been renamed and gradually merged into Dunkin’ Donuts.

It currently has more than 1,300 stores in Japan and is the largest coffee donut chain in Japan.

4. Burger King "Coffee Monthly" is the first to test the waters in the United States, and plans to open another 1,000 stores in China within 3 years
Last Friday, Burger King announced on its official website in the United States that it will start providing new services for "Coffee Monthly".
According to reports, consumers who activate this service only need to pay US$5 per month (now approximately RMB 34) to get a daily coffee coupon during the payment month and redeem a small cup of hot coffee in the store with the coupon. The
service cannot purchase other coffee drinks from Burger King, nor can it be consumed through takeout, and the daily coffee voucher is only valid on the same day.
In other words, Burger King’s daily coffee coupon can only be redeemed at the store on the same day, and can only be used one at a time and cannot be used accumulated.
Although Burger King did not explain in the notice how big this cup of coffee was, the reporter calculated it here and found that if consumers who purchased Burger King coffee monthly service went to buy coffee every day, the average cost of buying a cup of coffee is about 1.1 yuan (about 0.17 US dollars).
It has to be said that Burger King’s “little abacus” is quite smart, and he wants to use a small cup of coffee that is almost equivalent to a “free gift” to simultaneously drive store customer flow, promote consumption frequency, and enhance customer stickiness.
read sir comments: KFC already has similar gameplay. A three-month membership fee of 38 yuan can be purchased for a large cup of coffee for 10 yuan a day.
