Healthy and Happy Smiles Through Food We have reached that time of the year when autumn deepens with each passing day and the trees put on their most beautiful colors. This year it is the autumn of the corona pandemic, yet exactly because it is times like these, why not get in touch with the beautiful scenery of the season, be it in our neighborhood parks or the “satoyama” where our suburbs and farmlands meet enjoy the freshest seasonal foods the better to preserve your health, both mind and body? Yokohama is a giant metropolis, but it is also a city with a vibrant agricultural sector. Some 7 percent of our footprint, 2,920 hectares in all, is agricultural land, and you will find tranquil pastoral landscapes in our suburbs and on our outskirts. A vast variety of agricultural and livestock products come from this farmland, from vegetables, fruits, rice, and meats to flowers and dairy products. Our agricultural production ranks in the top class for all of Kanagawa Prefecture. The City of Yokohama is working to promote the allure of our agricultural sector under the rubric “Yokohama Farm,” and in league with producers, eateries, and other participants is moving forward with “Grow Local Eat Local” initiatives. At direct sales stores and open-air markets in our city you can buy fresh agricultural and livestock products directly from the producers themselves. In cooperation with JA Yokohama, we have been selling fresh agricultural and livestock products right at Yokohama City Hall itself on Thursdays since July. Vegetables freshly picked just that morning share the shelves with raw pasta made from wheat grown in Yokohama and other products, and the market is always jostling with customers. On Thursdays in November, known as Grow Local Eat Local Month, food trucks pull up to join the party. You will also find many restaurants and other eateries in the city where you can indulge in cuisine made using locally sourced Yokohama agricultural and livestock products. Please do enjoy the freshest flavors of autumn right here in Yokohama. This winter we will have to be on the watch not only for the new coronavirus but for influenza as well. We are offering free influenza vaccine shots to all residents 65 years old or older through the end of December. Please take the initiative to get yourself vaccinated right away. Let us all continue to protect ourselves against infection, add wonderfully nutritious fresh seasonal vegetables and foodstuffs to our meals, and enjoy this autumn season in robust health and good cheer.
