What is that?
Click to enlarge the picture. There is a basket in front of a chair on wheels. I couldn't get a picture from a better angle because the leeks were in the way. The farmer must go down the row sitting in this small chair, pulling leeks, and putting them in the basket.

Thank you for explaining this! I pass a patch like this on my way to the eki each day and couldn't figure out what it was! How are they prepared or served in a meal?
Hi, Lori. Click on the label below and you may recognize the vegetable. Actually, I had never seen a fresh leek (even the small ones in the States) in the supermarket before I came to Japan.
Leeks are used in a lot of nabe dishes; broth with vegetables. They are used in sukiyaki. They are supposed to be good for your health.
