In doing so, Tokyo-based Zensho will become the first listed gyudon restaurant operator to bring the dish back on menu after United States beef imports were suspended in December.
Major gyudon chains had used US beef in their dishes as the meat contained a lot of fat and was easy to procure in large quantities, according to industry officials.
The other three listed gyudon chain operators, including the largest Yoshinoya, have been serving pork-on-rice dishes or using Australian beef in the form of non-gyudon dishes such as beef curry rice dishes since Japan banned imports of US beef, after the discovery late last year of mad cow disease.
