 | | Gyudon was first served more than 100 years ago, when Japan opened up to western ideas including the eating of beef, which it was believed would make people stronger and healthier. | | | Critics of gyudon say it is an greasy dish of low-quality meat which is gobbled down in minutes in stores with no atmosphere. | | | Gyudon is an institution which has provided office workers with a filling lunch for only £1.50. |

| | Gyudon Crisis |
| | Gyudon, minced beef over a bowl of rice, is one of Japan's favorite fast foods, served at hundreds of gyudon fast food outlets across the country for under 300 Yen per regular serving. | | | Relying almost exclusively on American beef, the leading gyudon restaurant chains Yoshinoya, Matsuya and Sukiya are now introducing alternative donburi dishes to their menus, while gyudon lovers are storming the restaurants in order to get a last dish before the dry spell. | | | These days, however, gyudon restaurants and gyudon lovers are facing a crisis, as the beef reserves of all major gyudon restaurant chains are running out. |
