is a Japanese word literally meaning "mountain vegetables", originally referring to vegetables that grew naturally were foraged in the wild, and not grown and harvested from fields. However, in modern times, the distinction is somewhat blurred, as some ''sansai'' such as ''warabi'' have been successfully cultivated.〔Richard Hosking, ''Dictionary of Japanese Food'', p. 124〕 For example, some of the fern shoots such as bracken (Fiddlehead) and ''zenmai'' shipped to market are farm-grown. There are often sold pre-cooked in water, and typically packaged in plastic packs in liquid. The fern shoots ''warabi'' (bracken), ''fuki'' stalks in sticks, and mixes which may contain the above-mentioned combined with baby bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc., are available in retail supermarkets, and even in ethnic foodstores in the US. ''Sansai'' are often used as ingredients in shōjin ryōri, or Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Sansai include: * ' (''Nemagaridake'') - bamboo shoots of ''Sasa kurilensis''.〔 * ''fuki-no-tō'' - flower shoots of buttebur (''tō'' refers to a plant beginning to bolt) * ' (''Allium victorialis'') - similar to ramps (''A. tricoccum'') * ''hana-ikada'' ('), young leaves.〔 * ''harigiri'' (')- ''Kalopanax'' species, young leaves tarter than ''tara''.〔 * ''itadori'' (''Polygonum cuspidatum'') - Japanese knotweed〔 山菜関係資料(Sansai-related material) (webpage pdf)〕 * ''kogomi'' - fernbrakes of ''kusasotetsu'' (''Matteuccia struthiopteris'')〔 * (''Eleutherococcus sciadophylloides'') - young leaves.〔 * mitsuba * ''miyama-irakusa'' (''Laportea macrostachya'') - Nettlelike plants, which though young leaves and stems are eaten have stinging hairs requiring caution〔 * ''momijigasa'' (''Parasenecio delphiniifolius'', syn.
