点评:I know, I know – Japanese food is a treasure trove of possibilities. It should go without saying, writing about Japanese cooking is to enter the world of Japanese aesthetics, philosophy, and way of life.
I'm no cooking expert, but this site turned out to be a highlight during my recent Itoshima trip. Itosaisai is a farm stop offering a hybrid between a famers' market and a grocery store. Every morning the locals sell goods directly from farms, just-caught fish, and many other Itoshima-harvested fresh products, bypassing the brokers, wholesalers and distributors.
We arrived few minutes after the opening. Little did we know there were already long waits at the car park entrance, not to mention the long queue inside. For unknown reasons, photo taking is not allowed (in case you are fans of food photo shots). We brought Kamo aubergine, water spinach, edamame, and loads of meat that filled our shopping bag (and stomachs) to the top. A fantastic way to capture the joy of food.

我虽算不上烹饪专家,但这个地方却成了我最近前往糸岛旅行时的最大亮点。糸岛采集(Itosaisai)是一座农场驿站,融合了农贸市场和杂货店的特色。每天清晨,当地居民都会在此直接售卖自家农场的农产品以及刚捕捞上来的新鲜鱼货。还有许多其他在糸岛采摘的新鲜农产品,我们直接从产地购买,跳过了中间的经纪人、批发商和分销商。
我们在营业时间刚到就赶到了。我们事先并不知道停车场入口处早已排起了长队,店内更是排着长长的队伍。不知为何,这里禁止拍照(如果你是美食摄影爱好者可要失望了)。我们买下了加茂茄子、空心菜、毛豆,还有大量的肉类,把购物袋(以及我们的胃)塞得满满当当。捕捉美食带来的快乐的绝佳方式。
