On July 29th, Shinji Kaneko, President of Keikyu Department Store Co., Ltd. in Konan, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, bowed deeply and offered his "deepest condolences" to the customers who suffered food poisoning from eating lunch boxes containing eel purchased from his store last week.
Among the customers who suffered food poisoning, one death is believed to be that of a 90-year-old woman.

The shop's offerings include eel prepared in the traditional "kabayaki" style: skewered, grilled, and drizzled with sweet soy sauce and mirin rice wine.
Keikyu Department Store stated that an investigation by health officials had found a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus in the product.
"We are deeply concerned about what happened and feel extremely regretful about it. We will cooperate fully with the public health authorities' investigations," Kaneko emphasized.
Isesada Restaurant, based in Tokyo and operating a stall inside Keikyu Department Store, is responsible for processing and directly selling eel products at the store.
Consumed worldwide , eel is a particularly popular food in Asia. Artifacts found in Japanese tombs suggest that this species of eel has been eaten by the Japanese people for thousands of years.
