Item Description
My husband, my son and I went to Rikuzentakata, Iwate prefecture during the summer of 2016.
The Kibonokakehashi, the Bridge of Hope, the conveyer belt which carried a lot of soil from the mountain to the tsunami inundated had been taken down. The scenery was completely changed from the previous year, just bare with high rise soil.
One section of old town was sort of developed for tourists. There were a few souvenir shops and restaurants. The site where the Yagisawa Soy Sauce brewery used be was now replaced with a temporary prefabricated container store . The shop sells soy sauce ice cream. The soy sauce ice cream sounds weird, but we had to try it. The caramel and salty ice cream tasted so delicious on the hot day. A construction worker came to store and ordered the ice cream. There is nothing around the reconstruction areas, so it must be an oasis for the construction workers to take a little break.

Japanese Title
陸前高田訪問ー2016年夏
Japanese Description
2016年夏、夫と息子と３人で震災５年目の東北旅行巡りをした。一番興味があったのは陸前高田市の復興状況である。愛宕山から切り出した土を運んでいた「希望の架け橋」と呼ばれた全長３Kmにもおよぶベルトコンベヤーは解体されごく一部だけ残されていた。陸前高田市の旧市街は嵩上げした盛り土だけが目立ち、一段と殺風景な景色となっていた。そんな中、BRT奇跡の一本駅の周りにある一角はお土産とレストランが立ち、観光客を迎えていた。津波で全てを失った八木澤書店が仮説コンテナ商店を構え、しょうゆソフトクリームを販売していた。もちろん、味を試さなければいけない。醤油の味がかすかにカラメルの味と変化してとても美味しい。工事現場の作業員が休憩中に訪れ、しょうゆソフトクリームを注文していた。八木澤商店はもしかすると、復興作業員のオアシスとなっているのかもしれないと思い店を後にした。
