| Product Description | Revered as a herald of spring, the history of cultivation of waka gobo started in the Edo period (1603-1867) in Yao City. Despite its name, which might suggest early harvesting ("waka" means young in Japanese), this is a different variety. Waka gobo leaves offer a subtle bitterness, the stems are prized for their crisp texture. In addition to that, every part of waka gobo such as leaves, stems, and roots is utilized with no waste. The secret method to make a soft texture and minimal bitterness of Yao waka gobo is to cut mature stems and collect only new shoots to be shipped. |
