Last time, I talked about rice—
so this time, it’s grapes!

I’m not sure about the current stats, but I believe Spain used to be the world’s number one producer of wine grapes.
I’m surrounded by vineyards.
Last time in Japan, it was rice fields.
I feel so lucky.

The grape harvest has already begun,
and tractors overflowing with grapes are causing traffic jams in town.
But no one complains.
They’re loved.

The photo captures a moment at dusk—
this year’s grapes are looking really good.
If, about ten years from now, you come across a bottle of 2025 vintage wine in a shop,
give it a try.
