My “Furusato-nouzei” Jalapeños arrived from Akita prefecture! There should be about 30. I’ll pickle half of them and freeze most of the rest until I need them. Worked like a charm last year!
ふるさと納税の秋田県鹿角市のハラペーニョが届いた！半分をピクルスに使って、残りは冷凍して使いたい時出す感じ！
去年もこれ買って大ヒットだった！でも頼めるのはこの時期だけだ！楽天で売ってるよ！まじ最高でおすすめです！

I’m Japan we have to pay inhabitant (municipal and prefectural) taxes, but the government has created this program called “hometown-tax” where you can opt to pay those taxes to specific regions and receive a thank you gift from that region.
So over the year, I will go onto Rakuten.co.jp and order lots of great “furusatonouzei” rural produce at a premium, but all those expenses can be claimed back in the tax return. Such that your inhabitants tax is reduced for the next year. Basically you’re paying money you’d have to anyway, but getting nice goods for free.
