In Okinawa
Mainly in the Yaeyama region
There is a unique plant
It is called pipers, which is a pepper
It is an Okinawan spice and I believe it is a valuable domestic spice.
For my family,
No common black pepper or other peppers
Only this Okinawan pepper, Pipers.
In Okinawa
Piperts, Hiibachi, Hihachi,
piiperts, hibachi, hihachi,
Hiberts, Piyachi, Hihatsu-modoki,
Long Pepper, Phiferch
etc.
and they differ slightly from region to region.
When I first came to Okinawa, an acquaintance of mine made very tasty onigiri rice balls.
The onigiri rice balls were made by stir-frying young leaves of pipers in soy sauce and mixing them with rice.
I was so impressed by the taste of the rice ball.
Since then, I have been a big fan of
became a big fan of Pipers.
When I asked people around me if they had any seedlings, they said, “That's impossible.
I was told that they don't sprout from seeds.
The roots come out from the nodes, so you have to take cuttings to increase the number of plants.
I was fortunate enough to have a seedling of this rare piper's tree.
I got a seedling of this rare Pipers and let it crawl along the block wall for 7 years.
It is a vine-like plant with dignity.
It was wiped out by a U-turn typhoon last year.
It was a shock that took a long time to recover from.
We are dealing with a product that is grown and commercialized without pesticides.
I am now using that one.
It's a very nice fragrance.
We hope you enjoy the aroma of tropical spices.
The scent of unusual spices has a rich image, doesn't it?
I think it is a rich image.
Why don't you try a different aroma for your Christmas or New Year's dishes?
