According to Yomiuri Shinbun* (読売新聞), Mar. 17. "Ramen Contributors*" (ラーメン義援隊) had gone to Kesen-numa city, Miyagi prefecture (宮城県気仙沼市) in order to distribute 1000 bowls of emergency ramen free to the survivors of the earthquake and Tsunami waves.
Also Kesen-numa was hit by the earthquake and Tsunami waves and there 473 persons have been found dead and 627 persons are still missing (as of Mar. 20.)
4 ramen cooks of "Ramen Contributors" was led by Ishii Takayuki (石井貴啓) (age 33), master of a ramen shop, Men-dokoro Maruwa* (麺処まるわ) (Chiba city, Chiba pref.), who had worked for ramen shop in Kesen-numa until 4 years ago.
The newspaper said, just after the earthquake, Ishi went to Ichi-no-seki city, Iwate prefecture (岩手県一関市) where his grandfather lived, and dropped in at Kesen-numa.
He was surprised that in Kesen-numa there were less foods for survivors at shelters.
Therefore he promised his friends there to come back soon in order to cook ramen, and went back to Chiba.
Then the Kesen-numa government (気仙沼市災害対策本部) who had been informed of that episode asked Ishi to come to cook ramen.

As a ramen fan and one of those who were born in Tohoku area, I really appreciate their distributing of ramen!
Ramen really can save Tohoku!
