Grocery stores supply problems/Проблемы поставок продуктов в магазины

Northern Japan is currently experiencing problems replenishing food supplies. It is not critical, there is food on the shelves, but the quantity and variety of meats are limited, the shelves have empty spaces. There are many explanations to this. Some say that there are problems with delivering supplies from Southern Japan. Some say that the non-perishable produce that does require cooking is sent to the shelters. Some say that instant noodles are hard to come by because the main flour factory in Tokyo was wiped out by the tsunami.

Also, Northern Japan had issues providing gas to people, that crisis has been resolved. Some gas stations are still closed, but there no longer are big lines to get gas. Japan is slowly recovering from the disaster.

На данный момент на севере Японии проблемы с доставкой некоторых продуктов питания. Ничего серьезного, еда есть, но видно, что количество и ассортимент товаров снизился, на полках есть пустые места. Этому есть много объяснений. Некоторые говорят, что есть трудности с доставкой продуктов с юга. Есть вариант, что непортящиеся товары, которые не нужно варить, отправляют пострадавшим от землетрясения. Еще говорят что сильно пострадала фабрика по производству муки, поэтому сейчас сложности с лапшой.

Еще была проблема доставки бензина и керосина на север Японии, сейчас этот кризис постепенно разрешается. Больше не надо стоять в многочасовых очередях чтоб наполнить бак бензином. Япония постепенно отходит от землетрясения и цунами.



That is miso paste.

Паста мисо.

Sauces.

Соусы.
