The grocery(YAOYA-SAN) car come to the park near by my parents' home every thursday.
It has come there since i was 6years old, so it keep on selling for 30years.
I have got married(WATASHI WA KEKKON SHIMASHITA) and live it other place,but i'm looking forward to get the grocery at this grocery car
(TANOSHIMI NI SHITEIMASU)when i go to my parents' home.
The man who on the photo is shop's owner.
30years ago,when all homemaker was young,he is called "young man"(ONIISAN).
He has still called young man(ONIISAN) even if he is the age that has some grandchildren.
I ask him "Can i take a picture for my brog?(SHASHIN WO TOTTE YOIDESUKA)"
he said"Really?I am also worldwide man,amn't i?!
and he was ashamed.
I widen keeping off the sun light, and I display corrugated cardboard at the entrance of the park,
and it is finished the market by a small truck.
There are some big supermarket,but the people who live in near young man(ONIISAN)buy many freshness vegitable(SHINSEN NA YASAI WO TAKUSAN KAIMASU).
Items that young man "ONIISAN"buy is not lot,they grow up near hear easy going(NONBIRI).
So the shape of them are different size.
But they are taken care(TEMAHIMA KAKETE) to raise with agrichemicals(NOUYAKU) a little bit,
it is safety and delisious.
And also it is best price(NANIYORI YASUI)!As for the half price(HANGAKU) to buy in supermarket.
This is tomatos become to be fully rippened and then harvested.
350yen for 1box.
Eggplant
There are summer fruits.
Water melon(SUIKA),Peach(MOMO) and Melon(MELON).
The fruit of yellow green is top of the photo is japanese pear(NASHI) is delisious for fall from summer.
There are many vegitables on the rack of the truck.
cabbage(KYABETSU),spinach(HOURENSOU),pea(MAME) and cucumber(KYUURI)...something like that..
There are potates(JAGAIMO) and carrot(NINJIN).
The japanese pickle(TUKEMONO) was made is delisious(OISHII) and popular(HYOUBAN GA YOIDESU).
My father eat only his one.
The flower is also available.
This flower is all chrysanthemum(KIKU).
There are many people buy the chrysanthemum regularly to put them on tomb(OHAKA) and buddhist altar(BUTSUDAN).
This is green soybeans(EDAMAME).
It is standard vegitable in summer(NATSUYASAI).
I boil w/salt it as it is.
If they are harvested until the color of them change to brown,
they change to ingredient for bean curd(TOFU),soybean paste(MISO) and soy sauce(SHOUYU).
Their price are very cheap,so I buy it in large quantities.
I buy several summer vegitables are full of shopping bag.
I have the idea of recipe for 3days while choosing the vegetables.
Good!Mangiare!Shall we enjoy dinner!(MINNA DE ITADAKIMASU)
I bought 1box of the peach♪
Japanese peach is easy to be damaged since very a flesh soft and very delicate dividing of tooth sitting.
It is sweet and yammy(AMAKU TE OISHII DESU).
Konbanwa Miko san! a beautiful childhood memory always there, with the 'young man' Yaoya san! I would like buy his vegetables 'without chemical treatment' and it's not expensive! Peaches are great! The kiku are already in Japan!... Here, they don't appear until October. Thank you Miko for this reportage, and your comments. And also for your very 'wise control' of messages!!! Dewa mata!
Hello, Miko! I just found your blog and I look forward to learning more about Japanese culture and daily life! I am from America and I will be traveling to Japan for the first time this December. I'm very excited!
hi miko san!I'm from south Africa and i will be reading your blog further over the next few days but for now i must say i have learned a lot.i really love the Japanese culture but it is rare to find insight with a unique perspective as yours. ganbatte!
Konnichi wa Miko san. Your blog is so interesting. I'm an Irish girl teaching in China at the moment, but I hope I can teach in Japan in the future. I am teaching myself Japanese so your blog is very helpful :)
I've read many books and articles on Japan and I have spoken with Japanese friends about what Japan is like. Just the everyday life there is so fascinating to me. You're blog is really helpful for me, and I'm sure, a lot of other people.
I'm glad to see that their is a lot of response to your blog. These kind of subjects can bring people together from all over the world.

hello Miko-san.
It is interesting that kiku is also used in cemetry in Hungary too. Maybe because originally it blooms in fall.
I have tried nashi once, but it has no taste - does it mean that it was not ripe enough? Can I ripe it, just let sun reaches it? Some of the fruits can be ripa after harvest - like tomato :)
Hei, once if you have time, don't you wanna write about a typical Japanese menu? How to cook it? :)
thanks for sharing so much about your life!
Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my site something like that. Can I take part of your post to my blog?
