Sowing the Seeds

If you are a gardener, check out the website for the Kitazawa Seed Company. The company was founded over 90 years ago by Japanese Americans. They carry roughly 22 varieties Asian herb and vegetable seeds.

If you really have the green thumb, I would suggest ordering one of their ‘Chef Specialty Gardens’. The Japanese heirloom garden specializes in traditional vegetables of the Kansai region. The ones mainly used in vegetarian cooking or shojin ryori. It includes:

  • Mibuna
  • Nebuka onion
  • Hinona kabu turnip
  • Kamo eggplant
  • Kyoto red carrot
  • Kabocha
  • Katsura melon
