Vegetable shop

Such vegetable shop decrease in these days.
Many of people buy vegetables in a supermarket.
But I think that it is good for us to buy vegetables in a vegetable shop in town sometime.
Because they are expert of vegetables.
We can get useful knowledge about vegetbles.

I took this photo at a back street in central funabashi.

Self servise vegetable shop

This is a shop farmer runs.
We buy and take the vegetables and put the amount coins into the box.
those vagetables are taken fresh from the farm every morrning , and cheaper than these of the supermarket.
I think there is not such shop in central Tokyo.
