There is another thing that made in Japan
is playing an active part.
It's a four-wheeled sand buggy (Honda).
Sand buggies look great on sandy roads.
By the way, I have never seen a king crab
in an airport restaurant.
Halibut is a dish that comes out on a daily basis.
It is a member of the flatfish,
but unfortunately there is no fat veranda.
The pale white tempura has a good taste
unless it is frozen.
It's been five years since he came here, and I'm happy that he can speak Japanese anyway.
He wants to talk more, but work ends at 9-10 pm.
He hopes January-March is the next time he will go.
"why"
"It's the golden age of king crab."
Every January, one Japanese comes to buy.
I am well aware that cheap crabs cost 10,000 to 20,000 yen here in Japan.
Big processed products are shipped to
the continental United States.
Three workers talk to guide Eddie
(25 years old, Canada).
I was surprised that one worker who came
to see me off spoke in fluent Japanese,
"Are you Japanese?"
No, how can you speak Japanese in such
a remote place.
His Japanese name is "Jiro", 40 years old.
He is a Filipino who has worked in Japan for 15 years.
The only supermarket on the Island is the islander's precious kitchen.
The assortment is ok, but mainly frozen foods.
It is unavoidable that every Island feels more expensive than the mainland.
Looking into the fishery processing factory, more than a dozen employees are busy working.
During this period, they make frozen processed foods of Halibut (a member of halibut and flounder).
An assembly line that is cut into three pieces, washed with water, wrapped in plastic wrap, and frozen.
but there is no alcohol in the cafeteria.
"Liquor shop" that you do not know when it opens.
The car lined up at the same time as the store opened for only one hour.
I got wine and beer.
It's such an Island, but if you live in it, it's the capital.
More and more people exchange greetings day by day.
