News Sushiro chain to relax employee dress code

Sushiro, a kaitenzushi chain in the news for falling victim to "sushi terrorism," decided to relax the dress code for its staff.

Sushiro workers used to have to keep their hair and eye colours "natural." But starting 1 November, Sushiro has lifted these restrictions to allow its employees to express themselves more freely. They can now dye their hair, wear coloured contacts, wigs, or even facial hair. And even wear a hijab.

Food & Life Companies, the owner of Sushiro, says this is to make "a workplace where employees can work enthusiastically as their individuals."


Some of the dress codes allowed under the revision include

• Hair colouring (to be placed in a hat/hairnet while on duty)
• Wearing wigs (in a hat/hairnet while at work)
• Wearing coloured contact lenses
• Beards (to be placed in a mask while on duty)
• Hijab (hem placed in clothing while on duty)

改定で認められるドレスコードの一部として、以下のものがあげられています。

• ヘアカラー（勤務中は、帽子・ヘアネットに入れる）
• ウィッグの着用（勤務中は、帽子・ヘアネットに入れる）
• カラーコンタクトレンズ
• ひげ（勤務中はマスクに入れる）
• ヒジャブ（勤務中は裾を服の中に入れる）

Given the amount of foreign workers I observed in Tokyo, I'm guessing they are desperate for workers.

Well it's pretty bad situation here and Yamaguchi.b
