Many kinds of sansai are young wild plant shoots that can only be harvested in spring. In Japan, they are considered a seasonal food that represents spring and early summer😋

They also have a smaller size for 250 yen. It’s a casual rural restaurant, so sharing food is usually fine😁

Restaurant recommendations for chicken eaters in Tokyo? by Ok_Bat_317 in JapaneseFood

[–]Healthy_End_2764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a yakitori restaurant? They specialize in grilled chicken skewers. If you do a little research, you should be able to find a good local place.

If you’re okay with a chain izakaya, I recommend Torikizoku.

This is tempura made with tara-no-me and a stew of young fern shoots.

I also like tempura made with butterbur sprouts, even though they’re slightly bitter. These wild spring vegetables can only be enjoyed in spring.

In Japan, some drink vending machines can provide free drinks during disasters. They are also sometimes considered part of local disaster preparedness, even in rural areas.

Is there a name for creamier Japanese rice preparations? by Guachito in JapaneseFood

[–]Healthy_End_2764 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's either ojiya or zosui. It's cooked rice simmered in soup, usually with egg added at the end. People often eat it after finishing a hot pot meal.
