Author Notes

Country side in Japan, we pick many spring bud(Sansai).They have many different flavors but every bud have little bitter taste. So my image of spring taste are always bitter. This is popular paste serve with rice. I think butter bud is one of the most bitter spring vegetable. Serve with rice. —burio
