The punishment should fit the crime! He must not only tend to and harvest the farmer's Chinese cabbages, and of course for sale by the rightful owner, but also pay the fines in his own crop of tomatoes. I can't believe the moron kept the receipts, too.

"Prices of a number of common vegetables in Japan have soared due to autumn typhoons and a cold winter." AND Japan's protectionist policy of allowing NO vegetable imports

You have to thank your lucky stars you live in a safe enough country to call this national news. Kawaiine.

Seriously have you seen the price of cabbage these days? I saw 700 yen for one or 450 yen for half of one. (Following the Japanese tradition of paying more for something smaller).

Shoulda stuck to being a Tomato man...
Like my grandfather told me, “If your a tomato man, why on earth would you go Chinese cabbage on us?”
Tomato man went cabbage and paid the price.
