Producer Information

Fuki (Japanese butterbur) is a perennial plant that belongs to the plant family Asteraceae and can be found throughout Japan—from Hokkaido to Okinawa. It is an indigenous vegetable of Japan, which is a rarity. The fuki plant is said to have been harvested from the Heian period (794–1185) for food, with the younger buds used for medicine. Fuki is said to have approximately 200 types, including wild species, but almost 70% of fuki on the market is Aichi wase fuki. This fuki species was discovered in the Meiji period, in the region that is now known as Tokai in Aichi Prefecture. The vegetable became widely popular in neighboring com-munities immediately after the head of a local village successfully grew it. What is more, the area’s farming irrigation—completed in around 1960—also boosted the vegetable’s popularity. Ever since this, the Chita Peninsula has been the production center for fuki. The production output of JA Aichi Chita, which is the center of Chita Peninsula farmers, makes up approximately 40% of Ja-pan’s total output. The largest portion of fuki farming is in Tokai and Chita.
