In a small run-down park not a minute's walk from thedeath-trap of Omotesando Hills. A small bearded man waits.
He has no political agenda, purely a love of early mornings, hash browns, juice, chocolate and strong coffee...combined with a dire financial situation.

Title: Mulberry JamTime: All Day, Early Spring
27
Late spring/early summer before the rainy season in Japan sees the fruiting of Mulberry – (Kuwa-no-mi (桑の実) in Japanese) – along a large stretch of the Tamagawa river. 28
Hidden beneath large broad leaves, juicy mulberries ripen out of sight – undisturbed except for the elderly, and inquisitive children.
29
I came across a grove of them walking through one of the expanses of parkland that open up a few kilometers out of the city center (exact location secret) and this year collected a kilogram for a rich chunky jam. 30
A perfect morning stroll and afternoon activity. And a perfect excuse for tree climbing with the kids (not that one is needed).
31
Tip: A good rule of thumb = when you see the elderly hunched over picking at the ground, foraging, or shaking trees, get in quick – (and pick their brains for cooking advice: they have the key knowledge). 32
In a city where going strawberry picking is an all-day, high-cost trip out to a neighbouring prefecture discovering a plentiful harvest down the road is magical, spirit-lifting and 33
delicious!
