There are many delicious restaurants, cafes, bars and bakeries.
This is a famous bakery, and they are selling many kinds of breads fresh from oven.
But last day, I found strange posters around this bakery telling about their new product.
"Fresh Bakery of Domestic Flours"
"Iodine-enriched Bread"
Iodine-enriched Bread ? What's that?
"How about a Bread with dried kelp powders for radiation protection?"
It was hard to hold back my laughter.
This area is about 200km from the Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant, but after the 3.11 quake and nuclear plant accidents very tiny quantity of radioactive substances were found, and people have been getting panics although radiocesium levels are beyond 150Bq and radioactive iodine had not detected after this June.
So, from now, it is not effective to eat Iodine-enriched Bread or dried kelp for protecting themselves from radiation, but the staffs of this bakery are not joking. They are believing this bread are effective to radiation protection.
And this bakery and this Iodine-enriched bread are loved by people of this area.
Nicely written and illustrated. But radiation leakage continues. Therefore, iodine may be effective, ね。
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteKelp powders are delicious and good for health, if there is no probrem about radiation. I like seaweeds very much :-)
And I am wondering that is there any place safe from quake and radiation in Japan...
