Rather than supermarket shelves, farmers markets in Tokyo are the best place to buy freshly harvested local produce including Edo Tokyo Traditional Vegetables.
If you find one, stop by and enjoy fresh, seasonal flavors.

[Tokyo Gov @Tokyo_gov]

Tokyo is home to the Edo Tokyo Traditional Vegetables, varieties passed down from the Edo period.
Even today, they are carefully cultivated in urban farms and are treasured for preserving heirloom seeds and traditional cultivation methods.
Some are in season in early summer.
