The movement to support the restaurants in Hirosaki is spreading.

"Package Plaza Kobayashi Hirosaki store" (Watoku-cho) started small-lot sales of bento containers on April 1st. We had been requesting subdivision for a long time, so we were proceeding with the preparations, but the store manager Masaya Shinagawa reveals, "When I started, there was a reaction more than I expected."

Mr. Shinagawa said, "Until now, we were able to sell only 50 or 100 units. Lunch boxes that could only be sold in units of 100. If restaurants that could not be stepped on due to fear of stocking were subdivided, we used prototypes and containers that were different from before. It seems that they can easily take out by using such services as providing them. "

At Hoshizaki Tohoku, a commercial kitchen equipment manufacturer, Hirosaki Sales Office (Joto) started free distribution of hypochlorite electrolyzed water made with its electrolyzed water generator to restaurants and welfare facilities on April 16th. .. According to the director, Hiroyuki Sarukawa, the effects of the new coronavirus in Hirosaki's restaurants became more serious in April. There is no atmosphere to go into business, and he wondered what he could do for a week.

“Iwate suffered from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and at that time I was happy to repair a broken device without opening a restaurant. Now it's not a profit but a time to snuggle up with the customer,” says Sarukawa. Mr. "There are many stores that are in trouble due to lack of alcohol, so please use it as much as possible."

"Kim's Garage" (Takada), which sells imported cars and maintains vehicles, announced that from April 11th, it will make tires and oil exchanges free for food and drink companies until the new coronavirus ends. “I have many acquaintances who run the restaurant business around me, so I thought about how to support restaurants in my own industry,” said Maetsu Kimura.

“I grew up seeing my father working in a small shop and helping each other when I was in trouble. I can't think that I'm the only one making money or my own company is safe. It is important to survive this difficulty. "
