what kind of products they have here in Japan that I'm eating on a weekly basis

比起你住的地方!是以，在我的鎮上有兩家雜貨店，我經常去買東西

a lot they both carry a very different range of products so I find that I kind

他們都有非常不同的產品系列，所以我發現我有一種

of have to go to both of them once a week to get everything that I want. The

我必須每週去一次這兩個地方，才能得到我想要的一切。我的

one that's close to my house does carry all the necessities and I could get by

靠近我家的那家店確實有所有的必需品，我可以過得去。

just by going there but the one that's a little further has an import shop so I

只是去了那裡，但稍遠的那家有一個進口商店，所以我

can get like foreign snacks and foreign cooking ingredients. I use this huge bag

可以得到像外國零食和外國烹飪材料。我使用這個巨大的袋子

when I go shopping I tend to buy a lot of food I do a lot of cooking at home

當我去購物時，我傾向於購買大量的食物，我在家裡做了很多的烹飪。

especially now that I'm inside all the time but this is pretty similar to what

特別是現在我一直在屋裡，但這和我的情況很相似。

I would buy on a normal basis as well. Produce wise I just got some broccoli and

我也會在正常情況下購買。產品方面，我剛剛買了一些西蘭花和

some bananas this week. I wanted to get some more bananas but unfortunately I

本週有一些香蕉。我想再買一些香蕉，但不幸的是我

get a lot more because I like to freeze them for smoothies. One of the major

因為我喜歡把它們冷凍起來做冰沙，所以得到了很多。其中一個主要

differences that I find at Japanese grocery stores is that the fruit section

我在日本雜貨店發現的不同之處是，水果區

is very seasonal. At the moment strawberries are in season so there are

是非常季節性的。目前，草莓是季節性的，所以有

like three rows of strawberries, different types of strawberries from all

就像三排草莓一樣，不同類型的草莓來自不同的地方。

over northern Japan but other fruits that aren't in season at the moment are

在日本北部地區，但其他目前不是季節性的水果是

very difficult to find, whereas back in Canada I found that we kind of had a

而在加拿大時，我發現我們有一種

little bit of everything all year round. So that's something I've had to get used

一年到頭什麼都有一點。是以，這是我必須習慣的事情。

to in Japan. It's kind of fun though because you're always looking forward to

strawberry season. Oh the strawberries are back, awesome! Because

草莓季。哦，草莓回來了，真棒！"。因為

you couldn't get them all year right? So it's kind of fun.

你不可能一年都得到它們，對嗎？所以這很有趣。

Oh and I got an avocado of course. So my grocery store is really weird with the

哦，我當然還買了一個鱷梨。是以，我的雜貨店真的很奇怪，因為

pricing of avocados, it fluctuates like crazy. I would say probably the average

鱷梨的定價，它的波動非常大。我想說的是，可能平均

price is about 175 yen sometimes that goes up to 195 and on a really good day

價格約為175日元，有時會漲到195日元，在一個非常好的日子裡。

I can find them for 98 yen and I'll stock up on a whole bunch of them. It was

just a regular price today so I got one. I've been eating a lot of pasta recently.

今天正好是正常價格，所以我買了一個。我最近一直在吃很多面食。

normally I just buy these packs of spaghetti they're like already packaged

通常我只買這些包裝好的意大利麵條，它們好像已經包裝好了。

變成一份的大小捆綁，非常方便。然後我得到這個西紅柿

and garlic, it's like a ragu sauce. I'll usually add some veggies like peppers or

和大蒜，這就像拉格醬。我通常會添加一些蔬菜，如辣椒或花椒。

is very rare to find a dish like this prepared with soy meat in like a premade

很少能找到像這樣的菜，用大豆肉做的，就像預製的一樣。

sauce like this. So all I have to do is cut up tofu and add the sauce to it and

像這樣的醬汁。是以，我所要做的就是把豆腐切開，然後把醬汁加入其中，然後

I'll have a spicy tofu dish for dinner! I've noticed that recently Japan is

我要在晚餐時吃一道辣豆腐!我注意到，最近日本正在

really getting into the fake meat scene. Slowly I'm seeing more products

真正進入了假肉領域。慢慢地，我看到更多的產品
