j-cast.com (Japanese)

Gyoza no Manshu has suspended sales of refrigerated fresh gyoza in tray packaging due to a shortage of petroleum-derived materials. The restaurant chain announced on April 29, 2026, that the suspension would begin May 1 in its Kanto region stores, citing insufficient plastic tray supply. Frozen gyoza in bags will remain available. This action reflects concerns about a potential naphtha shortage impacting plastic production, despite government assurances of sufficient domestic supply and alternative sourcing.
