There is so much food in Japan that the rest of the general population in the world has no idea about. I love trying new dishes, but also vegetables.
Here are just some.
In order of pictures:
1.) & 2.)
-fuki no to
-kogomi
Under mountain veggies category, it is best cooked as tempera or in soba soup dishes.
3.)
-homegrown komatsuna
Similar to spinach but more dense and has much more nutrients than spinach.
4.) & 5.)
-black garlic
It's regualr garlic that has been cooked in a rice cooker on low heat for a couple days. I haven't ever made it, only buy it. It tastes completely different from regular garlic, almost fruity and very soft if it's fresh. It's really good for you as well. Some people I've heard eat a clove every day.
6.)
-Nagano gyoza/dumplings/pot stickers
Like Chinese fried dumplings/pot stickers, but a completely different shape being round and thicker skinned.
