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!
