Nosh is keeping its ears to the ground for local eateries doing their part to help Japan. Here’s what we’ve got so far; if you know of more, tell us in the comments box and we’ll update accordingly.
Oddfellows is donating one hundred percent of its sales profits (wow) from Tuesday, March 15, to International Medical Corps. Linda D’s other hot spots, King’s Hardware, Smith, and Linda’s, are doing the same.
Blue C Sushi is donating ten percent of sales from Monday and Tuesday of this week to the American Red Cross, as is Boom Noodle.
Japanese grill Issian in Wallingford is handing over all sales from miso soup.
Fresh Bistro will put five percent of sales from this week toward the cause.
Picnic is hosting a wine-tasting fundraiser Thursday, March 17, from 5:30-7:30, says phinneywood.com. A $20 tasting fee is encouraged; that, along with some of the shop’s sales from the day, will benefit ShelterBoxUSA.org.
On March 31 the very fun Hajime Sato will lead a sushi rolling class at Dish It Up! in Ballard; registration costs are $85, with $20 of it going to Red Cross.
Through March 19, five percent of proceeds at Fuji Bakery are benefitting Seattle Japan Relief.
Kisaku, Sushi Kappo Tamura, Rover’s, Chiso, I Love Sushi, and Ethan Stowell Restaurants have signed on with Red, White, Unite, a booster for Peace Winds America. On April 6 these participants will entrust ten percent of sales.
Stowell also took to Twitter to say he’d “donate ALL proceeds from cookbook sales for the rest of the year.”
Bai Tong in Redmond is joining the cause on March 19.
On March 21 from 5-10, Boat Street Cafe is throwing a fundraiser for the family of restaurant employee Sachie Mikawa. $25 entrance donation.
In that same spirit, Mosh Moshi is giving fifty percent of revenues from a benefit on Tuesday, March 22 to its sushi chef, Nic Miura, and his family.
You can drop off monetary donations at Uwajimaya.
Over the weekend Lisa Nakamura and her crew at Allium on Orcas Island also gave tenners to the Red Cross, and Street Treats tweeted they, too, have donated to the org. Cantinetta held a benefit dinner on Sunday.
Nice showing, Seatown.
Note: You can always text REDCROSS to 90999 to make your own $10 donation.
Wow! I will definitely be going to Oddfellows tomorrow. Are Kings Hardware and Linda’s also donating 100%?
Yup, they are Pavan.
Issian on 45th in Wallingford is donating all the revenue from miso soup to relief causes. Small gesture, but still counts.
Fuji Bakery’s getting involved:
5% of Proceeds go to Japanese Earthquake Relief
From Monday, March 14th to Saturday, March 19th, 5% of all proceeds will go to Seattle Japan Relief, a collaboration of Japanese American and Japan–related cultural, educational, and civic organizations standing together to promote relief and recovery following the devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan. Stop by the bakery during this week to support immediate and long-term relief efforts!
Awesome responses from our city. Another couple of restaurants getting involved are Boat Street Cafe and Moshi Moshi. See their Facebook events for details.
Also, Bai Tong in Redmond is donating all of its proceeds toward relief.
Ooh, forgot to mention that it’s proceeds this Saturday, March 19
Thanks for the tips, all! Keep em coming.
March is Red Cross Month and Washington Wine Month! So here’s our pledge to support the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami disaster relief efforts by contributing $10 for every bottle of Washington wine purchased at Bistro San Martín during the month of March! We would also like to encourage you to text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation of your own to help those affected by this disaster.
Emerald Acres Oysters will be donating 30 Dozen of our Treasure Cove Oysters to Boat Street Cafe’s Fundriser on March 21, 5-10pm.
Great! All these venues should earn extra star points on Yelp!
Somewhere I have noticed a similar theme, OK
