Sakiyoken (Nishi-ku, Yokohama) will temporarily suspend sales of its [Fried Rice Bento] (930 yen including tax) from March 2. The company will also change the fried rice recipe for [Yokohama Fried Rice] and other fried rice products.

According to Sakiyoken, there is a shortage of egg ingredients due to the avian influenza outbreak in Japan. Due to the difficulty in securing the necessary amount of egg ingredients, the company will suspend sales of [Fried Rice Bento] for the time being and change the recipe for fried rice products to one with less fried egg and more fried pork and green onions. The company plans to resume sales of the "Fried Rice Bento" as soon as the supply of raw materials for eggs becomes available.
