TOKYO —
A food fair featuring local delicacies from Miyazaki Prefecture including beef commenced at a Tokyo department store Wednesday in a bid to help the region’s meat industry, which has been hit hard by an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.
The organizer decided to hold the fair featuring food from the western Japan prefecture as scheduled, despite the recent massive outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. A Takashimaya spokesperson said, ‘‘There was a suggestion that we should cancel the event but we’ll support (Miyazaki) by selling local delicacies.’’ The food fair will run through Tuesday and a special donation box has been placed at the Takashimaya store.
