Japan Adventure

This is how the grapes are grown. Each bunch has been covered with white mesh. I don't think they use any pesticides here.

These are pione grapes -- big ones that are in season now. Read about them here: http://grocerytrekker.blogspot.com/2008/02/pione-large-black-seedless-grapes.html

We've unwrapped the bunch that we've chosen. We were each issued a pair of scissors to cut the grapes off the vines.

A group sits on mats under the grapes. This was not really an option for me . . .
