Japanese Honey Vendor in Chichibu

Honey vendor at a farmer’s market near Chichibu

The Japanese honey bee is called Apis cerana japonica that is a subspecies of the eastern honey bee. They are found throughout Japan except for Hokkaido and Okinawa and they live in the mountains and in cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Historically honey was solely collected from Japanese honey bees for about 1400 years. However, in 1877 commercial beekeepers changed to the Western honey bee due to the higher honey production. In recent times Western honey produce the majority of honey in Japan. Fortunately the movement of preserving the Japanese honey bee has not diminished in part due to media coverage and biodiversity. The Japanese type are more docile nature, resistance to infectious diseases and cold weather, and have the ability to defend themselves against the Japanese hornet.

Hakodate Morning Market in Hokkaido

King Crab at the Hakodate Morning Market in Hakodate Hokkaido early 2000’s

 

The history of the Hakodate Morning Market started in postwar years when food was scarce and farmers from the countryside began to sell vegetables in the city. An illegal black market started outside Hakodate Station near the ferry dock, and fishmongers and rice peddlers went back and forth between Hokkaido and Aomori. Afterward the market became the “kitchen” of the city, selling foodstuffs like rice to items like melons and crab. The market sells vegetables picked fresh that morning, laid right on the ground for sale. The market boasts around 250 stalls as well as “donburi lane,” where visitors pile bowls of rice high with fresh seafood called “seafood rice bowl.”
