HONG KONG, Aug 22 ― Japanese restaurant owners in Hong Kong are grappling with a looming ban on seafood imports from 10 Japanese prefectures because of Tokyo's plan to release treated water from the crippled Fukushima plant into the sea from August 24.
Although the details of Hong Kong's ban remains unclear, Halry Yu, 42, owner of Japanese restaurant Hassun, said more than 90 per cent of seafood sent to Hong Kong is gathered in Tokyo. “Meat will become the main theme of the menu. We will start putting barbecued skewers and fried food on our menu that we never had before, to keep the operation running,” Yu said.
“I am a bit worried. But I will choose to still eat it. The Hong Kong government should have very strict control over the imports of seafood,” Lee said. “They will conduct a lot of testing and ban those deemed problematic.”
