Kura Sushi started a campaign on 22 September 2023 to sell thick scallops sushi to support Japan's fishing industry. China imposed the ban on the import of Japanese seafood on 24 August 2023 just after Japan started releasing treated water from Tokyo Electric Power Company's tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. If China continues the import ban for a long time, it will damage Japan's fishing industry heavily as China accounts for 22.5 per cent and Hong Kong accounts for 19.5 percent of Japan's total exports of seafood.
