Welcome

Thank you for the thousands of emails in support of the original translations of Japanese Twitter accounts of the March 11th quake on my Facebook note, "Japan Quake as Seen from Twitter". Now, together with ten classmates and friends in the University of Cambridge, I have launched this blog to continue translating the voices of the Japanese people on their road to recovery.

1000 Yoshinoya Beef Bowls a Day

Yoshinoya (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshinoya) is delivering a thousand beef bowls per day to one of the hard-to-access, hard-hit areas. I saw evacuees eating the hot beef bowls with gratitude all over their faces. It was a heartwarming sight.  I hope Yoshinoya continues doing this.  Regardless of whether the public thinks Yoshinoya’s beef bowls are cheap or expensive, what Yoshinoya did has won a them a customer in me.

(Original Japanese Text)
吉野家が被災地で11000食の牛丼を炊き出ししています。被災者が温かい牛丼を食べて感動していました。すごく微笑ましい話しです。吉野家にはずっと続けてほしいですね。牛丼の値段が安い高いではなく、吉野家の行動を見て吉野家の牛丼が食べたいと思いました。
