Foraging for wild vegetables with my mountain sensei

We were foraging in the national forest area beyond the Toyosawa dam in Hanamaki, Iwate. We picked shidoke, wasabi, fuki, mizu, urui, and yomogi, though I cut the video down to just showing the shidoke, warabi, and mizu so it wasn't an hour long...

Though I first met him earlier, I started foraging with Haruo-san reguarly just after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011. He's retiring from his main job next year, so we'll be able to go even more often from next, including creating some foraging and cooking tours then! I'll post more on these upcoming tours later!
