Japanese fruits in a stall beside a shrine

Beside a local shrine named Kumano-jinja shrine(熊野神社) I found a fruits shop which is just a stall. They sold so many kind of vegetables and fruits. Some of them are Japanese special fruits!


They look very sour! Yes, they are Mikan(みかん). They are just like oranges, but the taste is a little different, and the size is smaller than it. It's called mandarin orange.


They are persimmons called kaki(柿) in Japanese. Have you every tried to eat? According to the matter of ripeness, the taste and feeling on the tongue are totally difference. I eat them in autumn every year.


Every country has the fruits, and some of them are very specified. I love them! Autumn of Japan is one of the great season to enjoy those taste. Yeah, I will :D

When you come to Japan, please eat fruits even if it looks very strange from your view :)
