Spring harvest

Harvested some spring wilds. Butterbur, mustard leaves, miners lettuce, stingy nettles.

Spring is busy, exiting time for harvesting and preserve the edible plants.

So finalized the menu for this weekend’s take aways pop up at Harken coffee.

Important: We have to apologize about that we announced as we will be available for dine-ins, however Harken isn’t able to do 100% dining for food service now & this event is basically take out. Still you can enjoy coffee & food in the room but it will be self service basis.

Walk-in purchase is available but the numbers are limited, highly recommend to make pre-orders.

Anyways back to subject. Harvests. Introducing how to cook butterbur in traditional Japanese way.

This plant has a hole inside of the stem. Some says it can be a straw?

Clean the leaves and extra parts, salt.

After salted, boil whole stems and peel the skin little by little.

Voilà.
