It looks like local vegetables and more are available at low prices at “Sakura Shukugawa Station’s Greengrocer”, held every Tuesday at JR Sakura Shukugawa Station.

Here it is↓
There are two more dates: Tuesday, September 20 and Tuesday, September 27!
Hours are 15:30–19:30.
They sell safe, delicious, freshly harvested morning vegetables grown locally in places like Nishinomiya, Kobe, and Sanda.
It says the “kabura turnips,” “komatsuna,” and “eggplants” are from Nishinomiya! There may be others too.
And surprisingly, Shine Muscat grapes are being sold for 800 yen. It looks like they’re limited to 100 packs, but that seems really cheap!
They also have things like umeboshi and curry lined up. Looks fun!!

Finally
It’s great to be able to buy freshly harvested morning vegetables at such a familiar, nearby place♪ If you live nearby or use Sakura Shukugawa Station, be sure to take a look. Since it’s open until 19:30, you can even stop by on your way home from work 🙆 I’m a little worried about how the typhoon might affect Tuesday the 20th, but I hope they’ll be able to set up!
