An Izakaya being open in Akita donate all profits for corona measurements

            Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, pubs across the country were forced to take long breaks. Even if the emergency declaration is lifted, the return of customers is severe. Meanwhile, an izakaya that declared that "all profits will be donated to measures against corona" will open on the 9th. It is attracting the attention of people in the food and beverage industry. Dream Link (President Masahiko Murakami), a restaurant chain headquartered in Akita City, opened a new store in front of JR Akita Station, also known as "Reconstruction Support Bar." It is said that skewers and oden made from local Akita ingredients will be offered for 30 to 390 yen per item, and all the profits will be donated to the "organization that has made the most contribution to the new coronavirus countermeasures".

The inside of the 48-seat store is partitioned by a transparent plate that prevents splashes, and the temperature is measured when entering the store. Corona countermeasures are perfect, such as posting 18 infection prevention measures uniquely set by the company as infection prevention measures in the store. The day before the opening, we invited Mayors Hozumi Shigeru of Akita City to perform tape cutting.

In September 2011, the company opened a reconstruction assistance bar in Sendai City and Tokyo Ginza to donate all profits to the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. It has a track record of donating more than 15 million yen to Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures in about a year's business.

However, this time it was the "second bullet" in which we were seriously injured that all 95 directly managed stores were closed. Regarding the reason, President Murakami said, "Emergency declaration has been lifted, but the city at night is still quiet. If companies keep refraining from having dinner at night, the next crisis will come due to the deterioration of the economy. The support bar also wants to be a way for the business community to come up with good guidelines (like the store's precautions) and then end the evening meal."
