Adachi Ko-en
Photos of a back yard? BFD, right? But when the back yard is as big as a ko-en, it's a big deal, especially for Japan. The Adachi family shrugs it off, but their plot of land is much larger than the average American yard. The Adachi family is 10 generations strong in Hamamatsu City and this ancestral land has been in the family. The family compound has 4 family homes plus their soy bean processing factory. And don't forget Adachi ko-en. There's even some more land beyond the hilltop.
The kids pointed out the different young bamboo growing; for our dinner, Masae-san and Adachi-san's mother picked vegetables from the garden; and the kids and I picked some "dai-dai" (a Japanese citrus fruit) which would be added to the sho-chu.
Adachi-san's mother heard that I love sansho for its spicy and numbing yet lemony taste, so she brought me to her tree and picked some leaves for me. It's used as a garnish, but I munched on it on the train ride the next day.
