Created by the locals, this vegetable has a crisp texture and irresistible spicy kick that's just right! Feast on it with piping hot rice or as a side dish with a drink.

Konburi is a vegetable that took root long ago in the Kasuga region of Ibigawa Town, mainly. It is resistant to damage from snow and wildlife. If you want to enjoy its crisp texture and unique spiciness, it's best to eat it raw with miso. The spiciness mellows out when you heat up the konburi instead, bringing out a sweetness that makes it easy to eat. It's a convenient ingredient that you can use in a variety of dishes, such as tempura and stir-fry.

Service period：From May to September

Each is prepared in a different way—fried, grilled, and boiled—and all of them pair perfectly with local sake.
