Heavenly Veg: Amanoya 天野屋

You couldn't devise a better name for a veg shop:Heavenly (天 ama) Vegetable (野 no) Shop (屋 ya). Moreover, and you can't make this up: a homophone for 天 is 甘 (ama, sweet). 天野屋: my Japanese family have been shopping there for generations, first served by the elder Amano, now the son (who has children of his own). Grandma 天野 asks about my mother-in-law (roughly the same generation), wife, and children (whom she remembers from their childhood) and usually adds a few extras to the order free of charge.
