A fire broke out at an izakaya near Koenji station in early Sunday morning. The restaurant opens from 5:00pm to 10:00am and the blaze started just after 9:00am when a grilled used for yakitori set fire to wall and ceiling fixtures and fittings. 4 men, 2 employees and 2 customers, died from smoke inhalation while 12 are reported injured, some seriously. Police are looking at whether there is evidence of professional negligence, however, building regulations do not require such premises to have sprinklers installed. The fire brigade extinguished the fire by 10:30am.
