Sunchoke: A vegetable with white flesh and brown skin, has a nutty, sweet crunchy flavor when eaten raw...Sunchokes are available year around, but best through the months of October- March.
Mache: aka Corn Salad, a lettuce green grown wild in corn fields, has a tangy nutlike flavor, " a gourmet green"
Shigoku Oyster: Are Pacific oyster that attached to stationary lines and floats that rise and fall with the tide. It’s a low maintenance technique that forces them to “cup up” getting a scoop shaped shell. Has a very clean, sweet-nutty flavor.

Kanzuri: A paste of red chili peppers, rice malt, yuzu….Japanese tradition to salt the peppers and begin fermenting in snow, aged for 3 years, and finished as a paste
