Izakaya `` Substantial request for business closure It is difficult to resume business '' April 10 17:19
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has requested that restaurants, including izakaya, be open from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm, and that alcoholic beverages be served until 7:00 pm. On the other hand, there is some confusion among izakaya chains, which have closed most stores temporarily on the government's declaration of emergency.
“Sanko Marketing Foods” has about 70 izakayas, mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, including “Kin no Kura” and “Touhou Kannon-Roku”.
However, following the government's declaration of emergency, all izakaya operations have been suspended since the 8th, and some stores, such as Tokyo Takadanobaba, have set meals.
On the 10th, Tokyo requested that restaurants, including izakaya, be open from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm and that alcoholic beverages be served until 7:00 pm.
However, according to this request, it will be difficult to resume business as an izakaya for the time being, because it is not possible to do business at night, where the most sales can be expected.
Aya Nishikawa, a spokeswoman, said, “For izakaya, the sales after 8:00 pm are so large that I feel that the request from the capital is a substantial leave of absence. Even considering the safety of customers and employees, It is difficult to resume business as a izakaya while there is a request to refrain from going out. "
