The cold is getting stronger little by little, and the season is starting to feel like full-fledged winter is just around the corner.

Although fewer vegetables grow in the winter, it is also the season when leafy vegetables come into play. Among them, mizuna is characterized by its crunchy texture, making it ideal for salads and hot pots. In addition, the thick leaves of Chinese cabbage make it a vegetable that does not succumb to the cold and is perfect for warm soups and stews.

There are only two months left this year, but let's get through it with hot pots and soups made with leafy vegetables.
