Sansai
is a Japanese word literally meaning "mountain vegetables", originally referring to vegetables that grew naturally, were foraged in the wild, and not grown and harvested from fields. However, in modern times, the distinction is somewhat blurred, as some ''sansai'' such as ''warabi'' have been successfully cultivated. For example, some of the fern shoots such as bracken (fiddlehead) and ''zenmai'' shipped to market are farm-grown. They are often sold pre-cooked in water, and typically packaged in plastic packs in liquid. The fern shoots ''warabi'' (bracken), ''fuki'' stalks in sticks, and mixes which may contain the above-mentioned combined with baby bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc., are available in retail supermarkets, and ethnic foodstores in the US. ''Sansai'' are often used as ingredients in shōjin ryōri, or Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Examples Sansai include: * ''Chishimazasa'' (チシマザサ), ''Nemagaridake'' - bamboo shoots of '' Sasa kurilensis''. * ''Fuki-no ...

Chengiopanax Sciadophylloides
''Chengiopanax sciadophylloides'' is a flowering tree in the family Araliaceae native to Japan. Previously included in the genus ''Eleutherococcus'', it is distinguished from other members of that genus by not having spines or prickles and ITS sequence data confirmed the separation. Chemistry ''Chengiopanax sciadophylloides'' has been found to be a specific hyperaccumulator of manganese even in soils not contaminated with excessive amounts of manganese. In wild plants manganese concentrations of up to of dried leaf have been analyzed. After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in March 2011 it was found that ''Chengiopanax sciadophylloides'' accumulated the radioactive isotope Caesium-137 to concentrations above the human consumption guideline of 100 becquerels per kilogram of fresh weight even as far away as Nagano and Iwate Prefectures. Analysis of leaves taken from ''Chengiopanax sciadophylloides'' in August and October 2013 from a forest northwest of the Fukushima Dai ...
