“ A flavorful seasonal delicacy nurtured by the waterside in Japan ”
Seri (Japanese parsley) is one of Miyagi’s representative winter tastes. Thriving in paddy fields filled with pure water, it offers a refreshing aroma and a crisp, crunchy texture.
A unique characteristic in Japan is that not only the leaves but also the roots are eaten. In Miyagi, it is popularly enjoyed in dishes such as “seri-nabe” (parsley hot pot). The sight of harvesting within the paddy fields and the culinary culture of savoring even the roots provide an authentic and refreshing Japanese food experience for international visitors.
