Description
Mitsuba (Cryptotaenia japonica), widely known as Japanese Parsley, is a cherished heirloom herb essential to traditional Japanese cuisine. Featuring bright green, trifoliate (three-lobed) leaves with slender stems, it delivers a clean, refreshing flavor profile blending celery, parsley, and subtle angelica notes. Perfect as a fresh garnish for miso soup, sukiyaki, rice dishes, tempura, and salads, it brings both crisp texture and culinary sophistication to cool-season herb gardens.
