Description

Chijimi Spinach (ちぢみほうれん草) — Nagano

Grown in the crisp winter climate of Nagano Prefecture, Chijimi Spinach is a seasonal Japanese spinach variety prized for its thick, crinkled leaves and remarkable natural sweetness. As temperatures drop, the spinach concentrates its sugars to protect itself from the cold—resulting in a richer flavor, tender texture, and less bitterness compared to regular spinach.

With its deep green color and juicy, dense leaves, Nagano Chijimi Spinach delivers a clean sweetness with gentle umami. When cooked, it becomes soft and silky while still maintaining a pleasant bite, making it a comforting winter vegetable that pairs beautifully with warming dishes.

Serving Suggestion:

Add to hot pot (nabe) in the final minutes of cooking. It wilts quickly, soaking up the savory broth while adding a subtle sweetness and freshness—perfect for winter hot pot meals.
