I went to Kyushu ( southernmost of the four main islands of Japan ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyushu ) to see effects of Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident. Because foods of Kyushu are considered safe, various kind of vegetables, fruits, meets, fish and so on are widely consumed by Japanese. So I think it is important to see creatures of Kyushu for the food safety. Posted by Yoshitaka Kiriake from Japan on August 21, 2012.

I visited Yanagawa city, Fukuoka prefecture, Japan. I ate an eel which is famous for its good taste in Japan. This picture shows cooked eel which called “Unaginoseiromushi”. When I saw the cooked eels, they have no deformity. It was delicious, but I had forgotten to take a picture of living eel. So, this is an only picture which I can show you the eel.

福島第一原発から遠く離れている九州の食材は安全だと考えられている。実際に九州に行き、いくつかの生物を観察してきたが原発事故による明らかな影響は認められなかった。九州の食材は安全だと考えられているからこそ、九州の生物の観察が重要だ。
Kyushu of Japan is far from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant and many Japanese believe that foods of Kyushu are safe. So, it’s very important to observe creatures of non-contaminated area such as Kyushu, because it's products are widely consumed in Japan. I cannot find any effect of the accident in kyushu at the moment. I think we have to continue to see all species carefully to know health effects to human beings.
