Wild Plants of Kami Town
As the mountain snow melts, it presents a succession of spring blessings. Kami Town in Miyagi Prefecture is a nature-rich town embraced by the mountains of the Funagata range. In the mountainous areas, natural wild plants such as tara no me, warabi, udo, and kogomi (ostrich fern) can be harvested, and char raised in mountain streams is also a beloved local specialty. These wild plants, carrying the subtle bitterness of spring, are seasonal flavors that the local people eagerly await. Tara no me is delicious when lightly fried as tempura, while warabi is enjoyed in ohitashi (blanched with dashi) or simmered dishes. When you savor them by bringing out the aroma and pleasant bitterness of each ingredient, the breath of the mountains spreads throughout your mouth. These are nutritious blessings nurtured by the mountains of Kami, which can only be tasted during the short spring season. They are seasonal tidings that arrive along with the melting snow.
