While walking to work, I'll sometimes get stopped for police checks, but other times, people will just hand me food. They'll be like, "Would you like some persimmons to go? Perhaps some udon or radishes?" These people don't even live nearby. I don't know who some of them are. They don't expect autographs or anything, and it's a different person each time. I guess I look hungry. They even handed me matsutake mushrooms one time, hahaha. Isn't that amazing? What I'm trying to say is that's how I start off my work days.
