I am a native Japanese speaker who used to teach Japanese in a university somewhere on this planet. Currently I don't work but stayed in my house in Northern part of JAPAN. I hope that you could enjoy reading my posts and know what life in Japan is like.
I saw three white birds from a distance. I used my telephoto lens as much as I could. If I can see them spreading their wings from short distance, I would be surprised by their wide wing span, although I know that it is impossible to get closer to them.
Rice reaping has already been done while I have not been able to take a walk for weeks. We Japanese eat rice as staple. That is the reason I call them “energy source”(not sauce). They will make a long journey from rice field in Niigata to customers.
Ms.Yamashita’s Shop in 1st-6th Morning Market in Niitsu
Today I went to the Morning Market in Niitsu in order to buy Ms.Yamashita’s Kimchi. I bought just one package of Chinese Cabbage Kimchi by 800 JPY. Then she told me that people don’t come to her shop these days. She said this year has been so bad for her sales of Kimchi.
So I would like to ask you people around Niigata. I want you to go and buy her Kimchi. It is so delicious and so reasonable. Her Kimchi is available at only several places around Niitsu in Akiha-ward, Niigata city. Please check dates of morning markets in Niitsu, Gosen, and Suibara by the image below.
