In Japan, it is common to eat a typical cake at Christmas. Christmas cakes are sponge cakes covered with white cream and decorated with strawberries.

The style of cake may have two meanings, one is that red and white are colors for celebration, the other is that white cream expresses snow and red strawberries does Santa Claus.

Wagyu

Thieves were arrested

I wrote about thieves in agricultural products. Recently thieves were arrested in Tochigi prefecture. They are from outside of Japan. I guess it is difficult for the people from other countries to earn enough money or get useful information about governmental support under the outbreak of coronavirus. But farmers may start being cautious of the people from other countries because of a few people's bad behavior.
