Koharu biyori - Indian summer

We call a warm day in autumn Koharu biyori.


Rice harvesting has been finished.
New season's rice has appeared on the market.
Japanese especially adore "Shiroi Gohan" white rice :D
Thanks to the cool weather in summer, less agricultural chemicals were used in Hokkaido.
Now the fields are covered with wheat sprouts.
This makes beautiful scenery with the snow covered mountains in background.
