Some of you may already know it, but there’s a manga called Yaiteru Futari. It’s about a couple doing BBQ in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, and it seems to be pretty popular. One of the spots that gets a quick cameo in it is Yorasse YUTO, the place to pick up local ingredients in Hamamatsu, a city with no fish market of its own.
This place..
Inside
It looks a lot like an ordinary supermarket, but..
they have locally grown produce.
Melons, corn, kabocha squash and so on.. Shizuoka grows all kinds of produce.
Asari clams
Fish
The prices are reasonable too.
Shrimp and more
Hamamatsu has a port, so these are fish that came in there. Now and then you’ll spot blue swimming crabs as well, and they sell all sorts of ingredients. I reckon it’d be great for a BBQ. Well, nothing tastes bad off a BBQ anyway..
