The day after receiving the report, the law enforcement officers of the Market Supervision Bureau inspected on the spot and found that the store sold wine without Chinese labels, engaged in pre-made raw foods, and the Japanese dishes marked on the menu were not from Japan and other suspected illegal acts.

After investigation, it was found that the "Sei Qi" dishes include Nagasaki bream, fried seaweed with Hokkaido scallops, Aichi Prefecture Hokkaido Hokkaido sashimi, boiled Hokkaido eel fish, Aichi Prefecture eel Kazuyaki, Toyama Prefecture white shrimp, Hokkaido Daji Shanghai gall, wild tuna naked, etc.

Among them, Nagasaki Maki bream, Toyama Prefecture white shrimp and other dishes are imported from Japan.
