In the 1960s the name 'Kyō-yasai' (京野菜) was adopted to describe heirloom vegetables cultivated in Kyōto, but by the 70s imported vegetables had driven many varieties to near extinction.
Some of the cutest vegetable wagashi are the 'turnips'. These 'kabu' (かぶ) are by Matsuya (松彌)😋

It may not look like the most festive of treats, but New Year for Nao-san is marked by the arrival of her beloved 'turnips'🥹 She typically begins 'kabura' (かぶら) season with Nijō Wakasaya's (二條若狭屋) adorable offering. How many kabura will she consume this winter?🤔
