Japan disaster relief efforts at Maru Global Takoyaki

Ryo Igarashi (above), chef/owner of Maru Global Takoyaki (255 S. 10th St.), who grew up in Tokyo, is using his terrific takoyaki as a platform to help his countrymen devastated by the recent earthquake and tsunami. A portion of the profits from tonight's $20 three-course monthly beer dinner with neighbor The Foodery (324 S. 10th St.) — lime-cured, torch-seared natural beef, anyone? — will be donated to Red Cross relief efforts in Japan. Six $15 limited-edition T-shirts are on sale, as well, with $10 from every sale donated, and all through April, 15 percent of money generated by delivery orders goes right to Japan. (Maru also has a Red Cross donation box on-site.) Check out tonight's full Foodery beer dinner menu after the jump.
