Kura Sushi announced on the 15th that due to a system failure caused by unauthorized access at its supplier Nichirei, some sushi toppings and frozen foods have experienced delivery delays or non-arrival, leading to delays in serving and shortages of some items. Nichirei disclosed the system failure on the 13th, stating that the impact is limited to Japan and that no leak of personal information or customer data outside the company has been confirmed. The disruption has also affected other companies, including Florajapon, a group company of Skylark Holdings, and Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan. Nichirei shares extended their decline in afternoon trading, falling about 6 percent to become the fifth-biggest decliner on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market.
