Sanriku Food Fair@ Shimokitazawa: Feb. 7, 2016

We will soon have the fifth anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11.

They held an event in Shimokitazawa, Setagaya ward, to sell the foods of Sanriku coastal areas. The areas are in Iwate and Miyagi Prefectures and were seriously hit by the tsunami disasters in 2011.

The areas included Rikuzentakata City, Ofunato City and neighboring areas. I visited there last October and November. There experiences there were so impressive.
