Mainichi Shimbun and other media reports that activists from the Consumers Union of Japan protested against U.S. beef imports in Tokyo's Ginza shopping area. Japanese consumer groups said they would launch a campaign to boycott U.S. beef, banned from Japan for nearly two years on concerns about mad cow disease, if the government decides to resume imports.
