On April 29th, 2019 - we went foraging for Kogomi (Fiddleheads) and Koshiabura (Chengiopanax sciadophylloides ???). Kogomi is often eaten after being lightly boiled or as tempura. Koshiabura is famous for being fantastic as tempura, but also exceptionally good when wrapped in thinly sliced meat and grilled or fried. In both cases, for the tempura just season with salt, no dipping sauce for these delicacies!
I’ve got other foraging videos -- including how to prepare wild vegetables in the kitchen -- here:

Was anyone else holding their breath watching them cross the log and then the river? Quinlan made it look easy!

What a lovely video! Relaxing and interesting, perfect for right now; it's cold and wet outside and I'm unwell so tucked up under a blanket.

@@katden8912 Yeah- these are the first that I did. I just started in late April. Thanks so much for your kind words!! I never did any work in video editing or filming before. (A bit of acting here and there, but not really anything professional.)

So... there are guided tours specifically to go and get japanese greens?

I'm working on making it a reality up here, yeah. If you are here at the right time of year and hit me up I can definitely arrange it, even if I haven't set up a tour website yet.

@lucianoarrieta5786 3 жыл бұрын

@@GoNorthJapan I would like nothing more :) Still, the right time of the year? Aren't there seasonal vegetables that can make those tours go year round? You could make them to have a theme depending on the season...

Enjoyable and informative video Quinlan-san! Is that a Silky Nata knife you are using? Thanks. And Sharla and Abroad brought me here!

Thanks! I can't remember the type of knife. It's all put away until next spring... But I can't wait to go out again next April/May. Going to try to do a bunch more foraging videos then!
