40-50 days from sowing

Kansai Mitsuba is grown for its verdant, aromatic leaves and stems. This Japanese herb is
very easy to grow and can thrive in a windowsill. Mitsuba, meaning "three leaves", is a plant
that is native to Japan and can be grown in the shade.

Growing Information

　　● Suitable temperature for germination: around 70℉
　　● Suitable temperature for growing: 50-70℉
　　● Soil pH: 6.5-7.5
　　● Days to maturity: 40-50 days from sowing

Germination

　　● Soil cultivation: soak seeds in water overnight to encourage germination. Sow at 1/2" spacing and 1/4" deep. Gently cover with a thin layer of soil.
　　● Water cultivation: sow on a sponge soaked with water and liquid fertilizer. Maintain water carefully; allowing it to dry out will prevent germination.
　　● Place in direct sunlight.

Maintenance

　　● Once established, thin to 1" spacing.
　　● Three weeks after sowing, thin to 2-2.5" spacing.
　　● For outdoor production: After second thinning (4-5 true leaves established), add
fertilizer and cultivate the soil every two weeks.

Harvest

Harvest at 6-8" length, leave 2" from the roots. Adding fertilizer can encourage
growth for extended harvest.

Cooking Information

Mitsuba is commonly used in dishes such as Ohitashi (boiled vegetables eaten with soy
sauce or ponzu and katsuobushi) and Osuimono (dashi-based clear soup). Try using it in
other soups or boiled dishes.
This herb can also be used raw as a garnish or in salads.

[RECIPE] Okowa Rice

Okowa is a traditional Japanese sticky rice dish that's full of flavor and perfect for any occasion. This recipe simplifies the process by using Japanese short grain rice and adding a piece of mochi for extra stickiness. With the rich flavors of chicken, root vegetables, and a dashi-infused broth, it's an easy and hearty dish your whole family will love.

[RECIPE] Strawberry Rose Mochi

Strawberry Mochi, also known as Ichigo Daifuku, is a delightful Japanese dessert that combines the sweetness of strawberries with sweet bean paste, all encased in soft and chewy mochi. By using Dango flour made from glutinous rice, you can easily recreate this treat at home. And by adding the rose syrup, you may enjoy a burst of fresh, fruity and a hint of rose flavor in every bite.

[RECIPE] Red Bean Porridge

This comforting Red Bean Porridge is gently sweet and aromatic, making it perfect for warming the body in the winter time. In Japanese tradition, Azuki Gayu, or Red Bean Porridge is often enjoyed at the start of the year to ward off negative energy, and wish for good health throughout the coming months.

[RECIPE] Chicken and Cucumber Salad

Chicken and Cucumber Salad is a lighter take on the classic Yurinchi chicken without frying, combined with the delicious scallion sauce. The chicken is steamed with minimal water, locking in all the savory goodness. This dish is equally delightful when made with chicken breast for a lighter touch, perfectly pairing with the freshly cooked rice.
