Japan Restaurant Sales Up 11.2 Pct in March

   Tokyo, April 25 (Jiji Press)--Restaurant sales in Japan in March climbed 11.2 pct from a year earlier, reflecting robust tourism demand, including from foreign touists, on the back of the yen's weakening and the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train line, industry data showed Thursday.
   The March figure was even up 13.5 pct from the same month in 2019, before the spread of COVID-19, according to the Japan Food Service Association.
