Japanese Mourn the Passing of 'Beef Bowl'

Low-cost eateries like Yoshinoya — which relies on U.S. suppliers for 99 percent of the beef used in its trademark dish — have been unable to find a satisfactory alternative to American meat. Gyu-don lovers say Australian beef has a different taste.

"I used to eat frequently here because it's cheap and good," said Hirokazu Takemoto, an office worker, who had just tried Yoshinoya's new curry rice bowl — one of the items introduced to replace gyu-don. His assessment? "It was OK."

Some of the uproar turned violent. A drunk truck driver started banging on the counter of a Yoshinoya in Ibaraki, north of Tokyo, on Wednesday when he was told all the gyu-don was gone, then assaulted two customers who tried to calm him down.
