After our PSNS group got together for a potluck, Tim and William headed off with good friends of ours, the Strands, to go Mikan picking. Mikan, or maybe better known in the US as satsuma, are small, seedless citrus. They are very sweet, and there are groves near to us.
Tim has some advantage in his height, to get the fresh ones at the top.
William's coat came back filthy. He had a lot of fun. Apparently, there's a cover charge to go into the grove and eat all you want.
They give you a basket, and it says ¥400. Well, that's per kilo, not per basket. Well, you live and learn here in Japan!!!
I think the best part of Mikan picking is getting out in the fresh, sunny air that we're experiencing at this time of year! Our fridge is now packed with Mikan that need to be eaten!
