Oguni Warabi (Bracken)
These are natural bracken harvested from the mountains of Oguni Town, Yamagata Prefecture. Surrounded by the Iide and Asahi mountain ranges, 95% of Oguni Town is covered in forests, making it a true treasure trove of wild plants. Oguni Town is one of the heaviest snowfall areas in the prefecture. The massive amounts of snow bring mineral-rich meltwater from the Iide and Asahi mountains, and this pure water and nature nurture thick, fragrant bracken. There has been a tourist bracken garden operating since the 1970s, and during the harvest season from May to June, many people visit from all over the country to enjoy bracken picking. When prepared as ohitashi (blanched with dashi) or simmered, you can fully enjoy the characteristic sliminess and aroma of the bracken. It is a quintessential taste of spring, packed with the blessings of the mountain village.
