Saibara is a character in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. Saibara is Mineral Town's blacksmith. He is a gruff, hard working, and somewhat stern older gentlemen. He is a master of his trade and is very serious about his work. He pushes Gray (his grandson and apprentice) to work harder, which often ends in confrontation. If you take the time to make friends with Saibara, he will give you a recipe for Pickled Turnips. Additionally, Saibara will open his store at 6AM instead of 10AM if you befriend him.
