Umami Mart and the Center for Japanese Studies of UC Berkeley present Tohoku Springs Back, an evening of food, drinks, music and dancing – to commemorate the hardships endured in the Tohoku region in the last five years, and the people who are bringing positive change to the area.
The event will take place at the David Brower Center in Berkeley, on Saturday March 12. We are inviting our friend DJ Marcy from Fukushima (owner of a record shop in Fukushima City called Little Bird) and our friend Tori-chan, who owns a restaurant in Tokyo called Jicca (but herself is from Minami-Soma, in Fukushima). Tori will cook for the event along with Casa de Kei, and DJ Marcy will spin records.
Local jazz band Otonowa will play a set and there will also be a special talk by Martin Fackler, former New York Times Bureau Chief of Japan – who was on the ground on 3/11/2011. He will talk about his experiences during this time as a journalist.
