        Taiwan has eased restrictions on food imports from Japan that were introduced following a nuclear accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, Japan's agriculture ministry said on Wednesday.
        
        Taiwan has lifted an import ban on wild game meat, mushrooms and wild vegetables called Koshiabura from Fukushima and four nearby prefectures, providing proper documents on radiation tests and the origin of the products are submitted.
        
        Last week, Tokyo reached an agreement with Beijing over the discharge of wastewater from the wrecked plant, paving the way for a restart of seafood shipments from Japan to China.
