The Japan Times

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Monday the partial lifting of its four-year-old import ban on Japanese beef, while welcoming Tokyo's decision the previous day to resume imports of U.S. beef after a two-year ban."

Great. So both countries ended bans on the other's beef. So now Japan can buy beef from America and America can buy beef from Japan. I have been fortunate enough to eat beef from the US and from Japan - and to be honest - they taste the same. I'm sure there is a very logical explanation, but for the sake of simplicity, why don't both countries just re-ban it?
