Nov 07 (Japan Times) - As policy experts scramble to interpret the significance of U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Japan, there’s already one standout winner in the stock market.
Ukai Co., which operates an upmarket restaurant chain, surged as much as 7.3 percent on Monday following a local media report that Trump had dinner with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at its flagship Tokyo store in the glitzy Ginza area on Sunday.
Trump and Abe were accompanied by their wives, and had dinner at Ginza Ukai Tei, a restaurant known for teppanyaki, a cuisine popular among tourists where meat and vegetables are grilled on an iron griddle in front of customers.
The guests were served a "special menu" that included grilled Hokkaido scallop, the restaurant's "best quality" steak and a chocolate sundae, an Ukai spokeswoman said.
