Eggs back on menu after 2 years

TOKYO, Aug 31 (News On Japan) - Fast-food chain Domino's Pizza has announced the resumption of "Tsukimi Quattro" pizza, which uses eggs, next month after a two-year hiatus.

The reason behind the resumption of sales is a stabilization of egg prices. While wholesale prices are still high, they have been declining for three consecutive months.

Family restaurant Denny's has also secured a foreseeable egg supply, allowing them to resume the sale of omurice (omelette rice) from this week, which had been suspended since March this year.
