Curry mouse

Ran into a large crowd of people outside of the closed doors of a restaurant inside of Shinkoiwa station yesterday. They were apparently reading a document that was posted there. Co-workers were quick to break the news today:

A noodle restaurant in Tokyo's JR Shinkoiwa Station said Tuesday that curry tainted by a dead mouse was served to customers in the morning.
Nippon Restaurant Enterprise Co. said 18 tainted meals were sold for about two hours after it opened at 6:30 a.m. The meals included curry "soba" (buckwheat noodles) and curry rice.
The company, affiliated with East Japan Railway Co., said an employee found a dead mouse about 8 cm long in a pot used to cook the curry shortly after 8:30 a.m.
Concerned customers can call JR East customer service toll free at (0120) 658078.
