Nobuko Hashimoto, aka “Hashimoto mama”, is a victim of devastating 2011 Tohoku earthquake and resulting tsunami. In her recently published book, she shares her story about preparing food for over 5000 volunteers in her own kitchen and what impact this had made to her life and volunteers’. She also shares popular tohoku regional recipes that she prepared for the volunteers in this book. The book is written in both Japanese and English.
For those living in Japan, you can order the book from Amazon. Each copy is 1680 yen with free domestic shipping! If you are living outside of Japan, you can order the book from a non-profit volunteer organization It’s Not Just Mud (INJM). For those living in the U.S, you can order the book at Kinokuniya.com.

this is really great. how can I get one in London?
It’s my favorite site. Everything here is incredible!
My favorite dish is the carbonara in a restaurant called pazzo pazzo!
When I’m ill, I like to have mee suah in simple broth for dinners. It’s a kind of soft thin wheat based noodles that hails from my ancestor’s hometown in Fujian, China. Probably should make some tonight. 🙂
Just subscribed as well; can’t wait for the next recipe!
I adore the banh mi sold in a (seriously) tiny Catina restaurant near my home…but I could probably eat their baguettes straight up any day.
I like dim sum too.. a great Chinese snacks, that can be eaten at breakfast or lunch. Deng!.. while writing this make me drooling (^_^). With all the prawns, fish, tofu and I prefer the deep-fried dim sum instead of steamed.
