Aichi Water Spinach (Kong Xin Cai) | Crisp Stems, Tender Leaves & Fresh Seasonal Greens

Grown in the fertile fields of Aichi Prefecture, Water Spinach (Kong Xin Cai) is a premium Japanese leafy vegetable celebrated for its crisp stems, tender leaves, and fresh, mildly sweet flavor.

Carefully cultivated under ideal growing conditions, each harvest offers vibrant green leaves and succulent hollow stems with a satisfying crunch. Unlike older stems that can become fibrous, these young shoots remain wonderfully tender while retaining their signature texture.

Blessed with Aichi's warm climate and abundant sunshine, the plants grow vigorously, developing excellent freshness, natural sweetness, and a clean, refreshing taste.

Whether quickly stir-fried, lightly blanched, or added to soups, Water Spinach delivers a delightful combination of crispness and tenderness that pairs beautifully with a wide variety of Asian and Japanese dishes.

Wonderfully crisp, tender, and naturally refreshing.

Serving Recommendation

Water Spinach is best enjoyed with a quick stir-fry using garlic, oyster sauce, or fermented bean curd. It is also delicious simply blanched and served with sesame dressing, or added to soups and hot pots for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Avoid overcooking to preserve its crisp stems and bright green color.
