A boycott of everything Japanese has mushroomed across South Korea as supermarkets, schools, travelers join a protest over Tokyo’s curbs on the export of sensitive materials
SEOUL—At the 365 Fresh Mart store here, a shopping basket is stuffed with bundles of shrink-wrapped Japanese Seven Stars cigarettes barred from sale. South Korean domestic beers occupy refrigerated shelves once dominated by Asahi and Sapporo. Laminated signs strewn across the store explain the new product mix.
“This mart doesn’t sell Japanese products! No Selling! No Buying!” the signs read. A banner draped above the entrance proclaims: “Japan Lacks Repentance over the Past!”
