Farmers & Artisan Market in BIG STEP

On March 3rd, the last day of the consecutive holidays, the weather forecast said that the temperature would reach early April, reaching 23°C in some places.Shinsaibashi is full of people dressed casually for spring.      Visit the Big Step Farmers & Artisan Market.A huge banner of the rock band "Unicorn" in front of the entrance catches your eye.      When I asked the organizer, "How is the weather?" I'd like to have it." As for agricultural products, he recommends Kotoka, a strawberry variety from Nara.It is said that the number is very small and that it is only sold at the Nara Hotel.Next to me, there were tomatoes that were airlifted from Miyakojima in Okinawa, where the weather is already hot.  And the booth of the Japan Macrobiotic Association.A handsome young man was promoting "Musubi". "I am always grateful for your help!"   At different booths, there were many dishes I heard for the first time, such as the southern Thai curry "Massaman Curry", which was selected as the best in the world, the Vietnamese shake "Sintho" using seasonal strawberries, and the green Indonesian crepe "Datar". It looks fun.   next time,April 4 (Tue) National holidayis.Marche is fun to talk with the shopkeepers.Please listen and try.We are waiting for you.   (Terry)
