Funahashi Times No.74「パパイヤおいしいよ！」

Hello there!

My cousin who lives in Takaoka City gave me a papaya fruit a few weeks ago. She bought it from Costco. I was very happy. I had never seen a papaya since I came to Japan. In the Philippines, you can see papayas everywhere. You can buy it anytime of the year. We usually eat it like melons. We slice the fruit and use a spoon. Sometimes, we use papayas when cooking “tinola,” a Filipino chicken soup dish. Papaya is a delicious fruit. Have you tried one?
