How about Japan's supermarkets and grocery stores?

In Tokyo, there's been shortages of things like bread, milk, toilet paper, batteries and frozen food items. But things are slowly getting back to normal.

Japan does not have enough stocks, and there is a shortage in consumers needs. The earthquake wiped out almost everything Japan had. There is almost no food in Japan. Approximately all supermarkets and grocery stores in Japan are destroyed. Japan's earthquake was at 9.8 in the Richter scale at one point. That is very powerful! Japan was hit by the most strongest earthquake ever recorded. It had over 150 aftershocks! Not so long after that, Japan had another earthquake that was pretty strong, but not as strong as the first one. Japan lies on the borders of three of the major tectonic plates. They are the Eurasian plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Philippine plate.This means that if those three plates cause a tremendous amount of energy, Japan will take considerable damage.

I am pretty sure it is in serious shortage of stocks. I read of panic buying in Tokyo and I am sure they are aware of the contaminated food too. Japan is in disarray but I am sure too that they will survived the same way they survived after WW ll. Japanese are very resilient and resourceful people. They bounced back after the war and became one of those economic force to reckon with and this disaster from mother nature is just one of those things that will make them bind more than ever.

How are you Inday, I am planning to go to the Philippines this October. Included in my plan is to see Bohol which is just beside Cebu. I will be meeting you pretty soon. Take care.

Well things were shaky, so things on the shelves were just falling off throughout most of japan. But for the parts that were hit by the tsunami, crops and homes and small supermarkets were destroyed, so I think there is some struggle for food and shelter unfortunately.

:(

That just reminds people that they should be donating at least $10. to the Japan fund at their nearest Red Cross. Or by cell phone some kind of way.

Tokyo is already got stable, however, saving electric is still going on.

supermarkets are okay.
