Wild Plants of Kamikitayama Village
With the arrival of spring, the mountains of Kamikitelle Village enter a season of simultaneous budding. What awaits is an abundance of fresh, succulent wild plants. The lush forests spreading at the foot of Odaigahara, known as one of Japan's most heavily rained-upon areas, nurture natural wild plants like bracken, ostrich fern, and angelica shoots. The young buds emerging energetically from the earth, nourished by snowmelt, carry the pure essence of the mountains. The true essence of spring wild plants lies in their subtle bitterness and aroma. When prepared as tempura or blanched with dashi (ohitashi), the gentle bitterness permeates the body. It is a luxurious taste of the mountain village that allows you to consume the entire season. The freshness of young buds picked from the mountains on that very day is, above all else, the greatest delicacy.
