Japan Farmhouse Vegetable Stand
Small fruit and vegetable stands operated by farmers are a common sight in many parts of Japan. The contents of the stands typically varies with the season and the prices are usually cheaper than what the same items would cost at market. These stands typically include a receptacle for receipt of coins and the average cost for most items is 100 yen (roughly 1 US dollar). When walking in Japan I usually keep a few 100 yen coins in my pocket for buying oranges, persimmons, pickled plums and even delicious bags of dried sweet potatoes which are my favorite!

Wow where is this

Your old question caught my eye, so, here is my info on this fruit for you. Several variety in shape, size, and slightly different taste, and two categories. Naturally sweet, naturally bitter (shibui). In the fall their color turned Orange/red, the sweet kind is edible with pleasant sweetness. Taste is unique not close to any other fruits. Firm, not much juicy. Now available in USA in the Fall. The bitter ones, dried in the air (just on the video) then becomes very sweet, best dried fruit.

In the "Related Videos" right side of this page, "Unmanned Vegetable Stand Thefts - News Report" Bad: there are some people steal the produce from the basket. Good: it was big enough to be taken up by a TV news. If this happened in other place, people would think this is a fact of life or even worse, the farmers would be blamed for being stupid. Satoimo: A type of root vegetable that's often used in hot pot or ozoni. It has sticky residue. It tastes good.

hey my teacher asked me what people in japan do for Christmas, can you make a video about that please? I'm sorry for asking you to make more videos but I'm also curious

It's cool to see the same thing (veges for sale) half way around the world. It's heartening to see that people are way more similar than dis-similar.

Not even a 100 yen in your pocket? You need to cut down on your spending sprees on your walking journeys.
