I found a very nice man here in the ZEN-NOH Fresh Produce Marketing, Co. in Tokyo who is letting me use his internet connection to post a quick picture from our first tour.

I tried to load pics to the photo album but I couldn’t get connected so I’ll be adding quite a few later. This is a very large marketing firm for the Japan Agriculture Cooperative which has most of the farmers in the country as members. Cindy just conducted an interview with the head of their fresh produce marketing division.

As you can see we got to sample before leaving. Cindy likes raw vegetables and fruit better than the sushi so she was real happy about that.

One of the things we’re getting plenty of is green tea. This line of bottles shows that they were ready for us. I wish I could say that I drink it but it’s just not my cup of tea. I’ll be interested in the sake samples later.

Right now we’re in a question and answer session in the main meeting room and I’m at the head table looking like I have some other purpose than borrowing a computer that’s connected to their internal network.
