Buying Vegetables in Tokyo & Hokkiado

Hi,
We are planning a family trip to Japan in August.
As I have a child with special diet need, I need to buy fresh vegetables at times to cook his porridge.Have not decide on accomodation yet, like to find out where the places in toyko that I can find veg easily?
Will hokkiado be easier to find fresh food?

In cities including Tokyo, Sapporo etc., you can find vegetables anywhere. In city centers they're available at the basement floors of department stores, and in residential areas they're available at supermarkets and grocery shops.

In resorts, shops can be located far away. Why not consult to your accomodation by email etc.?

hi

am living in shinagawa,tokyo and i would like to know where can i buy zucchini vegetable ,i went to the supermarket near us (jusco) but i couldnt fine it

Syaj, zucchini is sold everywhere in Japan nowadays. I'm sure a lot of Jusco branches have them. Maybe they were sold out. Why not ask the clerk? The pronunciation is as same as how they call it in the U.S. Otherwise, department store basements can usually answer most of your needs. But really, a local supermarket should be enough if you're just looking for zucchini.

By the way, the type you can get looks like this and they're about 20 centimeters long.

Zucchini are a bit out of season now. You can find them for sale easier in the summer months from June until August.

Hmm, I just bought a perfect Zucchini in Yokohama last weekend. You can always try.

I live in Kyushu, near Nagasaki and zucchini in not readily available and its very expensive and not very fresh when you can find it , usually 180 yen each for a small on. I planted some last year and it came up great then died ,not sure why but will try to grow some next year .eggplant on the other hand grows crazy and is cheap. love ratatouille.
