Famous mochi producer falsified expiration date
Akafuku Co., a 300-year-old confectionery maker based in Ise, Mie Prefecture, sold its famed mochi sweets with falsified expiration dates.
I eat this company’s main product several times a year. It’s quite good. (Though occassionally, now that you mention it …) How disappointing. Reading the complete article, I hope the company goes out of business. Companies aren’t museum pieces, and I don’t care how long they’ve been around. They are not the only one’s who make this stuff.
I do wonder what went wrong here. Oh what a tangled we be we weave …
