According to "Ramen Contributors" (ラーメン義援隊) blog*, Apr. 8th and 9th a team from them led by Koitani Takeshi (鯉谷剛至), a owner of ramen shop in Nakano ward (中野区), Jiraigen* (地雷源), visited Soma city, Fukushima prefecture (福島県相馬市) where is about 50 km north from Fukushima 1st Nuclear Plant (福島第一原発) in order to distribute 600 bowls of emergency ramen free to the survivors there each day (1200 bowls in total.)
And Koitani's blog* says that Apr. 16th and 17th they are planning to distribute emergency ramen in Iwaki city, Fukushima pref. (福島県いわき市) whose center is about 40 km south from 1st Plant.

According to his blog, he was born in Iwaki, where also my father was born and my grandfather and relatives live now.
As one of those who were born in Fukushima, I really appreciate and am proud of their bravery and distribution.
And I will visit his shop later in order to eat his ramen for showing my thanks!

May ramen save Fukushima!
