About takana

Takana is a vegetable rich in nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin K, iron, and potassium.

Takana contains a spicy ingredient called allyl isothiocyanate, which is said to have bactericidal and antibacterial properties as well as the effect of promoting the secretion of gastric juices and facilitating digestion.

Takana can be eaten raw, but it is common for ordinary households to purchase processed products.

Takana zuke is made by pickling mustard greens in salt and soy sauce, while takana zuke is made by stir-frying mustard greens with chili peppers in sesame oil and seasoning them with soy sauce and other seasonings.

You can make your own aburatitame at home by stir-frying takana zuke with sesame oil and seasoning it with chili peppers and soy sauce.

Takana aburaitame, which combines the aroma of sesame oil, the spiciness of chili peppers, and the bitterness of mustard greens, is sure to attract many people.

(The most common type of mustard greens is pickled in salt and fermented with lactic acid, but some are pickled in soy sauce or miso.)
