What better way to start your day than with freshly harvested, local vegetables from Japan’s ancient capital city?
From cucumbers to cabbage and sweet potatoes, this cat can’t resist the allure of a good vegetable.

The cucumber is a magnificent vegetable. Apart from simply being eaten as part of a healthy diet, they can also be cute, made into art, brought to life, and even given as treats to helpful Shiba Inu. With so many uses, is there anyone out there who could possible hate cucumbers?
Apparently, yes. There’s one town in Japan where it is strictly forbidden to grow or eat cucumbers. Why do they hate the vegetable? And is their rule actually valid or are they all in a pickle over nothing?
