HarvestWith the land enriched by the
Yamato River to the south andthe sunny slopes of the Ikoma
Mountains to the east, farming
has thrived in Yao City sinceancient times. Cotton was
widely grown in Yao during theEdo period, contributing to
the development of Kawachi
cotton (→ p. 10) as an importantregional industry. In recent years,
the area has been attracting
attention as a suburban
vegetable production area
providing fresh vegetables such
as Japanese mustard spinachand garland chrysanthemum
to the Osaka City area, a major

Young
burdock“In Yao, we plant the seeds in the fall and harvest the leaves one timeafter they grow. This ensures that tender young burdock grow in theearly spring to be harvested.”

Key points!

Every part is edible!

Brand name!

“Unlike normal burdock, where only theroot is eaten, the leaves, stem, and rootof young burdock are all edible. And eachpart has a different flavor!”“Farmers in the region have obtained ashared trademark for ‘Yao Young Burdock.’
And our brand recognition is reallygrowing!”12Late May- early Sep.

●Mikazuki“Freshness is everything with edamame (green soybeans). Our
edamame is already out on supermarket shelves in Osaka ready to be
sold by noon the day after it’s harvested. This freshness is one of thethings that make Yao edamame really special.”

Key points!
Enjoy the flavor of local production
for local consumption!
“The compounds that really give edamame its flavor
are reduced by half in about two days. Because ouredamame are bought by customers within the prefecture,
we are able to deliver a delicious taste that is only
possible with local production for local consumption.”

Perfectly plump!
“The short time between harvestand consumption allows us
to let our edamame reach theperfect stage of ripening in thefield. This gives them a lot ofsweetness as well.”
