Japanese food during winter 2016/4/17 22:13
As I have heard the Japanese food is often concentrated on seasonal ingredients and vegetables.

What happens during winter when there are no vegetables growing?

Let's just consider the traditional ways not the fact that you can buy import and frozen food like any country...

Just to add to the great variation of winter vegetables, like any country, pickles have always been the treat of winter in Japan. Things like the green-leaf nozawana or Chinese cabbage are best when pickled in the coldest of climates.

There are also traditional vegetables that grow in snow such as "yukina" which literally means "snow vegetable".

There are vegetables that grow all year round.

In all sorts of countries.

Not just Japan.

Where do you live, OP?
