Does Japan have an official sanctioned religion (Shinto?)? I don't see

I read an article recently that says ALL chicken served at some

If it is, it's been done as a business decision by the companies themselves, because I know of no legal requirement or governmental regulation that mandates it. Any such regulation would run into real problems with the Establishment Clause.

It's going to be interesting to see coverage of that little gathering! I don't think I would want to be one of the cops dealing with that.
