We could get blueberries fresh in the 1990s in the mountains in Nagano, Japan at our cabin at Nojiri. I had a little Japanese oven, so adapted the recipe for a 8x8" pan. Once we moved back to Iowa, I had to double the recipe for a 9x13" pan. This recipe brings back wonderful memories of eating coffeecake with friends on the front porch of the cabin. I believe the Essenburgs and Seelys might remember, too!
