Fat, tasty and organic carrots at the Kitanaka Marche in Yokohama! January is winding down, and it's hard to believe the first month of the year is nearly done. Just like time, though, fields and crops move on, and so the markets will show the turning of the seasons. Head on out to one of these lovely events below to find the tastiest seasonal treats and ingredients to cozy up these winter days. See you at the market! Ebisu Market Every Sunday in December starting after January 3rd Ebisu Market management are going all-out this month and hosting a market every Sunday. They've been recruiting more staff and hunting up vendors, so head on out to be part of the action. A recent visit showed this always lovely market remains charming as ever with an excellent selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables, scrumptious looking snacks, and crafty items. I'd also recommend a trip to Afuri Ramen when you're done for some of the best yuzu tsukemen in town. 11am to 5pm
