Recently, a photograph of the producer’s faces is displayed on the vegetables in the super market. This is very good system to purchasing vegetables after knowing the producer correctly. The display sticker which the store provides may also contain clear and correct information. It has become a hot news topic in Japan. Many vegetables are eaten raw, so you want to know the producer as much as possible, right?
Farmers markets are reliable because farmers sell vegetables directly. In Japan, Morning Farmer’s Market is called “Asa-Ichi”.
The morning market in Chigasaki, where I go, starts at 8 o’clock every Saturday. There are many farmer trucks. Because it is famous for the locals, lots of people wait in front of the store before 8 o’clock to get fresh vegetables from the morning. There is one Japanese saying that eating seasonal vegetables will make you healthy, right? So that seasonal vegetables contain a lot of growth energy.
Communication with farmers is also fun. Discover seasonal vegetables that you have never seen or heard. It is also good to exchange information on how to eat vegetables and recommended recipes. And the price of vegetables is really cheap. Farmers markets sell vegetables directly from farmers. It is a win-win relationship with each other. It’s a very convenient and wonderful system.
Farmers markets are held all over Japan.
It’s a good idea to add it to one of your travel journey plans
