A half dozen dead people doesn't hurt the economy, but the US seems to
sell lots and lots of citrus...?

Anyways, I just got back from Japan, and while I was utterly impressed
with the wide selection of food at all sorts of hours, I managed to get
very few vegetables. I had plenty of ramen, soba, udon, curry, katsu-don,
pan, oden (from 7-11 no less!), sushi, manju, taiyaki, takoyaki, yakitori,
croquet, etc. etc., but I only managed to get mikan, ringo, and kyuri
for fruit and veggies (and various forms of seaweed and tsukemono,
if that counts).

Surely, the Japanese must eat more fresh veggies than that...?
If so, what veggies do they normally eat?
