Miike Takana
That Karashi Takana (spicy mustard greens) that is indispensable to Hakata Ramen—its raw material, Miike Takana, was born in the Omuta and Miike region. During the Meiji era, this variety was developed at the agricultural experimental station of the Tachibana family, the former lords of the Yanagawa Domain, by crossbreeding Chinese-introduced greens with native purple takana. It is characterized by thick, crisp leaves and a unique, sharp spiciness. 'Stir-fried Takana,' a dish loved by coal miners, eventually spread across the country as the well-known Karashi Takana. When pickled, it is rich in flavor and perfect as an accompaniment to freshly cooked rice. Adding a generous portion to ramen completes that signature punchy bowl of noodles. It is a proud heirloom variety that supports the dining tables of Fukuoka.
