In Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, volunteer university students and others are running a soup kitchen. The menu consisted of handmade rice balls and miso soup in response to requests for quick and easy hot meals.

This soup kitchen is scheduled to run until the end of next month, and in the future, it will also deliver to debris removal work sites in the city upon request. A man in his 70s who visited the soup kitchen said, ``I'm happy to be able to eat hot food in the morning''
