Are you enjoying Japanese food with local fresh vegetables as well as meats or fishes ?
The 31st August is called as Vegitable Day in Japan.
"Vegetable" in Japanese is "Yasai" , and
8 = "ya"
31 = "sai"
are pronounced in Japanese so it's named Vegetable day on the 31st August.
You can try to eat not only summer vegetables such as corn, eggplant, tomato, etc, but also other seasonal vegetables with four seasons in Japan and certainly you would find fresh local
vegetables in Tama area (Western Tokyo) as well !
８月３１日は野菜の日とも言われておりますね。
四季を通じて様々な旬の野菜を堪能できるのも日本食の魅力の一つであり、多摩地域も地元産の新鮮な野菜を手に入れることができるので、観光やドライブついでに是非探してみてはいかがでしょう！
