Japanese Steak House had Meth In Soy Sauce; Gets Shutdown

At a Japanese restaurant soy sauce is used like ketchup.

So it's not good when there's meth in the soy sauce.  (Unless you are craving meth.)

Seven people were hospitalized earlier this week after consuming meth-infused soy sauce at The Nikko Japanese Steak And Sushi Bar in Pace, Florida.

Authorities found traces of the narcotic in soy sauce bottles and unopened packages of the condiment.

Nikko's management denies purposely putting meth in the sauce and claims an employee had been acting erratically and may have put the meth in the sauce by mistake.

Two days after the incident, the restaurant shut down.

"After more than ten years of serving the Pace community, we have decided to close Nikko Japanese Steakhouse. On June 10th, we heard, just like many of you did, of people being injured after eating at our restaurant…

It was determined by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s office that there was nothing linking the restaurant to the accusations, and after a clear survey by the health department, we re-open our doors. We are so thankful to our regulars who came back to support us, unfortunately it just wasn’t enough to keep the doors open.

Since then, we have been brutally harassed, daily, by various media outlets, who have slandered and defamed every aspect of our business. Today, a family owned and operated business is closed, 20 employees are out of work, all because of the power of social media
