Completely and utterly confounds me (and the laws of economics) but good news for the farmer, not sure how much he'll get directly after the local cooperative and middlemen get thier cut.

Baseball and softball are simply played in too few countries globally and have way too many players, coaches, etc involved.

If they don't have lawsuits filed against the FIFTY-THREE nuke power plants here on the earthquake-prone archipeligo then they qualify as hypocrites.

Try Kuai Aina (various locations: Aoyama, Kanda, Gotanda, Marunouchi)or my favorite Franklin Ave in Gotanda (the nice part). Both are excellent and it is always a good sign when they ask you how you'd like it cooked and it takes a while to prepare. AS Classics is near Komazawa Koen…
