Japanese customers love kaki!
In November it is common to buy and eat 柿 Kaki (persimmon) as a snack after lunch or after the evening meal.
Many Japanese homes have a kaki tree in their backyard and at this time of year, they are bursting with ripe fruit.
A mature typical tree can hold grow over 50 in a season. The fruit is washed and the outer skin scrubbed and removed by a knife.
The remaining fruit is then cut into portions to represent how many people will be eating.
A toothpick or small fork is given to eat the portion.
A cup of hot green tea is often enjoyed while eating a juicy persimmon. In season a good quality Kaki can fetch as much as 450 yen at the local fruit shop.
An even better treat is to peel the skin, soak in sake, and then to hang them to dry in the sun, these are called hoshigaki and are exquisite to the tastebuds.
Kaki is a much-enjoyed fruit in November and all the year as dried kaki.

Freeters use of Internet cafes in Japan
If you miss the last train home from the city it is easy and convenient to visit a 24-hour internet cafe, and read manga, drink coffee, take a nap, a shower and catch the first train home in the morning.
They have become so convenient and useful for a wide range of customers. A recent trend has seen "freeters" people who work part-time jobs and are often paid low hourly wages, for example, 800 yen per hour, who often cannot afford a regular apartment due to the high setup costs (one month's rent, key money, and security deposit, moving costs, etc).
"Freeters" are seen to be high-end users of these 24-hour cafes and do so by living out of a bag.
Using the facilities after work and then returning to work the next day.
With limited income, these cafes have become a much sought-after commodity to help stretch their limited income.
It is a creative but necessary way to make ends meet.
