Sansai, mountain plant is one of spring feature in Japan.

 

Japanese people eat “sansai” in spring.

Sansai  is  mountain vegetables, edible wild plant.

I like deep-fried “hukinoto”, or butterbur sprouts.

It has some bitterness, but I understand the bitterness has a medicinal effect.

In the spring, many people suffer from sleeplessness,  irritation and other conditinons.

Seasonal “sansai ”, or mountain vegetables, supposedly help adress such problems.

A lot of people swear by seasonal foods.

Certainly, they are fresh and highly nutritious.

You can buy and eat sansai at local grocery stores and Japanese restaurants.

Some Japanese people pickes at mountain oneself, but some mountain vegetables can be toxic.

So, an amateur is in danger.
