We're Number THREE?!?!

According to this article in the Mainichi Shunbun our very own Ehime prefecture is the highest producer of mikans in all of Japan (no surprise there!). But did you know that we are only third in sales? Hmm...do you suppose its because so many farmers keep giving me crates...

...and crates...
...and crates...
...and crates...
of free mikans?

Oh yeah, and apparently frozen mikans are the latest fad.

I can honestly say that in my former life, back in 2004, long before I came to Japan, I never would've fathomed this news could possibly be of interest to me.

I am so country now.

    Yeah, the free give aways is the only thing that can explain where the missing millions of mikan sales go!

    I really wanna put one in the freezer now and try the new frozen mikan thing.
