According to statistics released by Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan on the 8th, the death toll from the strong earthquake on the Noto Peninsula rose to 168. Considering the priority of disaster relief and the local situation, Ishikawa Prefecture** appealed to the public not to donate supplies to the disaster area on their own. Some Japanese ** and the public have sorted out a "list of undesirable materials" in the disaster area, in addition to thousands of paper cranes, letters of condolence, fresh food, and spicy instant noodles represented by Shin ramen.
Japan's "Sports Weekly" recently said that Japanese food blogger Ryuji posted on the Internet a few days ago to explain why spicy instant noodles are not popular in the disaster area. He said that spicy instant noodles, including Shin ramen, require too much water to cook, making them unsuitable for disaster-stricken areas where water is scarce. Some netizens said: "In the case that even water needs to be rationed, sending instant noodles is really messy." Another said, "Japanese people generally don't like spicy food." ”
Ryuji suggested that if there is a shortage of water when disaster strikes, and there is only spicy instant noodles left at hand, people can skip the spicy buns and change to soy sauce seasoning, and the spicy buns can be used only after the water shortage is alleviated. In this regard, some netizens said: "This is important information, and it is worth learning when there is no disaster." (Li Xiao).
