Fish burger and craft beer at Ishinomaki's Genki Ichiba ! Even as we gear up for the Rugby World Cup Final this weekend, my eyes are on the markets happening around town. The mix of rain and sun recently means winter crops are settling in nicely, so look for daikon mabiki , carrot thinnings , and, of course, plenty of sweet potatoes. This is a delicious time and the season only gets tastier as it goes along. Make a special treat for the game, and see you at the market! Market of the Sun Saturday, November 9 and Sunday, November 10 Market of the Sun (a.k.a. Taiyo Marche) professes to be one of the largest, and it is certainly a good one. A short walk from Tsukiji Market and its wonderful surrounds, this market is worth a visit for its lovely selection of foodly and crafty items that rivals the goodies found at the UNU Market. 10am to 4pm Step out of Kachidoke Station at Exits A4a or A4b and look for the tents. Koenji Farmers Market Saturday, November 1
Words about farmers markets, gardening, food and whatever else catches my fancy.
