While communicating with those in affected areas, we will continue to do what we can.

Tohoku has suffered a terrible turn of events, raising the tremendous question as to how we can best help. Our support must not be limited to a single effort, but rather we must communicate with the affected areas, understand the challenges they face, and find ways to apply our unique skills to provide ongoing assistance. I work with food, so for example by speaking with primary producers in the affected areas, scientifically proving the safety of their products, and establishing a framework to provide this information to consumers overseas, I believe we can help. There are perhaps some things that can only be done by my restaurant, or even only by myself. Through communication with those in need, I hope to find the opportunity to best apply our abilities.
