Yomogi
© Copyright 2010. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.
Japanese MugwortYomogi is a Japanese herb that grows in the wild almost everywhere in Japan. A member of chrysanthemum family, it has jagged-edge leaves with a white fuzzy underside on them. It spreads via underground runners ("stolons"). Yomogi can also be grown from seed.
It grows up to 4 feet (1.2 metres) tall, and blooms with small, tan-coloured flowers from July through to November.
It's lightly parboiled first for 1 to 2 minutes before use to remove some of the harshness from its taste. Sometimes a touch of baking soda is added to the water.
Yomogi is used in rice cakes such as kusamochi and hishimochi, and for tempura.
