When I volunteered in Tohoku last March, there was a wonderful lady there who cooked the most wonderful meals for the volunteers. By that time she was just inviting groups over to her house occasionally for dinner and dropping off odd things at the volunteer house, but in the immediate aftermath of 3/11 (and for the next six months) she was regularly cooking lunch for 50 volunteers a day. All out of her own pocket and, at the beginning at least, without proper cooking equipment or supplies.
This is while the first floor of her own house had been ruined by the tsunami.
A cookbook of some of her recipes has been produced and alongside the recipes are many stories from volunteers who have worked in Tohoku (Ishinomaki, especially). It has both Japanese and English translations.
It's on sale via Amazon Japan (here, if you want to check it out) but as their international shipping is expensive for books, the volunteer group are offering to send them internationally via SAL or airmail.

I received the book at the weekend and can vouch that it's a good book with some good recipes and is a timely reminder as the second anniversary rapidly approaches that there is still so much more to do.
