In Kansai district ,we don't have this plant so I have not seen it before we moved to Kanto district in 2009, I only knew the unique name of Ashitaba.
Originally they grow at the seaside of Izu, in Shizuoka Prefecture. Ashita means tomorrow in Japanese and ba(ha) means leaf.
The growth of this plant is very fast so after picking them up, new leaves come out the very next day.Actually they look like Tapioca leaves in the Southeast Asia ! Normally we deep -fry after we dip them into the batter. We believe that this plant has strong energy.
