I'm almost out of material. Let me introduce the place where the old man always buys eggs. They sell carefully selected eggs at Harada in Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture. They raise 20,000 chickens at the poultry farm. Chickens in the summer lay fewer eggs because, like humans, they lose their appetite. I heard they produce about 9,000 eggs every day. They supply to about 100 businesses, including most local cake shops and supermarkets. Currently, a 1kg pack of large size eggs costs 430 yen, with about 14-15 eggs inside. Every time you purchase, you get a boiled egg that is hard to peel as a bonus. You can also get a serving of sweet red bean soup and a boiled egg for free. Even customers from Fukuoka City come to buy on days off. I'm not sure if it's expensive or cheap, but I ended up buying it this time and was happy because I got to eat a boiled egg. ※There is another place nearby called Harada's Inaka Tamago that sells eggs. It seems like they are siblings. They raise about 8,000 chickens. When you buy from here, you get the same boiled egg bonus, but no other services are offered. ⚫︎I apologize for this close-up this time!

A certain pensioner reviewer requested an investigation - there is only one person like that, right? So, off to Harada's Yamanote we go... There are quite a few employees here. Mostly middle-aged women... Huh? Could this be why Takami's old man frequents this place so much...? "I've been tricked," I think to myself as I go further in, and then I am guided to the "free tasting corner" by the madame - boiled eggs cooked in a broth-like soup. There isn't any particular feature in the taste... It seems that it takes a few days for the flavor to fully penetrate. It also takes about 3 days for soft-boiled eggs. The feature is that the shells are easy to peel and they don't become too hard when cooked. Maybe not much benefit for the effort? For some reason, they also have sweet red bean soup. Surprisingly, they also have rice cakes... Microwaving them is recommended - they taste like something you'd get at a school event... Naturally, I can't just eat for free and leave, so I buy some eggs... There are 3 grades basically... The lowest is cracked eggs, for cooking. Around 170 yen for 10 eggs, I think? The ones I bought were 1kg for 300 yen. Irregular sizes smaller than medium eggs. There were 12 eggs in the pack... The highest price is 1kg for 430 yen. You can choose between large and medium eggs... Now, let's enjoy some rice with raw egg at home... It has a bright orange color. By the way, you can color eggs with feed, so don't use color as a judgment of taste... Surprisingly, it is not well known, but eggs also have a "season"... The taste of eggs is affected during the summer when the mother bird's appetite decreases, and the color is also poor. Chickens are extremely sensitive to heat. Based on this, my impression after eating is, "It's quite delicious!" If the quality is this good in the summer, then the eggs around November can be expected to be quite good... After being tricked by expensive egg-shaped landmines from "My Eggs" before, this deliciousness is quite moving... It was a poultry farm that made me feel a sense of familiarity. Takami's old man also occasionally provides useful information... Thank you for the meal.
