                    Yokohama Chinatown Begins Drive-Thru Sales

                    On April 13, 18 restaurants in Yokohama's Chinatown (Naka Ward, Yokohama City) began offering a drive-through service, as the number of visitors to the area has declined due to the spread of the new coronavirus. As people continued to eat at home, regular customers rushed to the restaurants to get a taste of professional food. The event was planned by the Yokohama Chinatown Development Association Cooperative. Customers place orders by phone at participating restaurants listed on the cooperative's website and pick up their items at the Chinatown Parking Lot on the east side of Chinatown (photo)."In order to reduce contact between people as much as possible, we have called on participating shops to use electronic payments," said Rika Takemoto, managing director of the company.

                      Manaorana, shoes developed and sold by Lyle that can be worn by people with disabilities

                      He began developing the shoes after realizing that there were few shoes that could be worn while wearing a lower limb orthosis to assist with walking. The shoes are designed with wider tips and widths so that the lower-limb orthoses do not interfere with the shoes. In addition, the shoes can be put on and taken off with one hand so that people with partial body disabilities can also wear them. Currently, business shoes and pumps are available. They are priced between 34,000 and 49,800 yen, excluding consumption tax. There are requests to use the shoes for job-hunting activities and ceremonies, and the company plans to start renting them in fiscal 2008.
