Japanese restaurant in H.K. forced to close due to radiation fears
Yaekiku, a posh Japanese restaurant in Hong KOng operated by a noted Chinese restaurant entrepreneur, has closed its doors.
Wong Ka-wo, head of the Hong Kong Restaurant and Eating House Merchants General Association, said Japanese restaurant business has taken a sharp hit following news reports that traces of radiation have been detected in Japanese food imports.
''More Japanese restaurants may have to close,'' Wong said.
The eating house will reopen shortly as a restaurant serving Western food.
