Matsuya Foods Co. said it will resume serving "gyudon" beef-on-rice bowls Wednesday with meat from China.
"We will begin offering it from Oct. 13 without limiting the number of dishes (sold) or time period," President Toshio Kawarabuki told a news conference Friday.
Matsuya and rival gyudon restaurant chains have been hurt by a U.S. beef import ban imposed by the Japanese government in December, following the first case of mad cow disease in the United States.
