In March 2012, for the one year anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, volunteerAKITA and other Tohoku volunteers went to Otsuchi, Iwate. One of the groups we were lucky to work with was Mr. Takayama who is the owner of Takayama Seimen (高山製麺)
Mr. Takayama and his volunteers worked tirelessly, serving free and delicious udon to all those who attended. His generosity and commitment to Tohoku are unbeatable and we are extremely grateful to have met him.
For FAIR Takata, Mr Takayama has donated 20 one kilogram packages of udon to be given out as prizes for the day. We thank him from the bottom of our hearts and only wish he could be in Rikuzentakata for the event.
Thank you so much again Mr. Takayama!
