Elizabeth Andoh and publisher Ten Speed Press are both donating 50 percent of
their respective profits from the book to GlobalGiving’s Japan earthquake
and tsunami relief and recovery efforts. These efforts support the work of
Japanese non-profit organizations in the Tohoku region. Ms. Andoh and Ten Speed
Press have designated their contributions be used to Sponsor
Fellows for Tohoku and Japan’s Recovery. This project, launched
and managed by Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities (ETIC) has a
dual goal: creating jobs in the area devastated by the disaster and developing
a new generation of business leaders in Japan. To learn more about the Fellows Project, click here.

Imo NI Kai, gatherings to share the bubbling warmth of this meat-and-potato pot, are staged through the Tohoku region. Each community has its own version.
