Japan's oldest market is in Kochi prefecture (Shikoku) and has been going on for over 390 year. t started in the Edo period when a Feudal lord set it up so citizens could get everyday things for life like fruits and vegetables, clothes and blacksmith goods. Today, the tradition is the same. Farmers, bakers and craftsmen from all over Kochi drive into the city every Sunday morning before 5am to set up their stand to sell. Most vendors are seniors, some over 90 years old!

Kochi Sunday Market is also famous for having very good vegan food options which is not very easy to find in Japan.
Vegetarians will fare well here but vegan's must still ask about ingredients like dashi (fish soup stock used in cooking).

★ INAKAZUSHI 田舎寿司
This is an amazing variety of vegetables sometimes fermented on a bed of rice like nigiri sushi.
Vegetables you'll find include MYOGA (ginger), SHITAKE mushrooms, TAKE (bamboo sprouts), Konnyaku, RYUUKYUU Potato Steamed Stem

We also eat
▶︎ Deep fried sweet potato tempura
▶︎ Potato mochi with anko
▶︎ Kochi iced tomatoes
▶︎ Vegetable chips
▶︎ Yuzuaid (like lemonaid but - it's Yuzu)

My favorite ❤️ seems to be - mochi with azuki red bean paste - sushi especially the ginger one.. - 🍅 - fried sweet potato - boshypan .. hat 🍞. Finally I think I will end up loving these people especially the older generation. I found them very adorable.

I love this video! I have been studying Japanese language and culture for awhile and I'm also vegan so this was a very informative video to help me ask about ingredients when I go to Japan in the future!!

I plan to retire in the Shikoku area someday so it's nice to see a market in Kochi still thriving after so many years. Perhaps I'll put up a food stand as well so please visit.
