Nagano Inadani Direct Market - S15.E27

The Ina Valley in southern Nagano Prefecture is surrounded by the Japanese Alps. Just past the corn fields, you will find a farmers' market. The market sells not only colorful vegetables, but also mushrooms, wild boar, deer, and other game meat, as well as locusts, honey mushrooms, and other insect foods. A diverse food culture is rooted here. Local farmers bring in their products, and many of the customers are also locals. What does it mean to take life? Let's take a look at it through the market.
