The End of the Spring

I went to Yuto, one of the authentic Japanese traditional restaurants, where I ate hamabohfu in the picture, a wild plant which grows on the seacoast and creates a wind blowing in your body after you eat it. My experience has revealed wild plants have something special that cannot be found in vegetables grown in the fields partly because wild ones have survived by its own survival power in the environment, without any recourse to human care including organic fertilizers.
Hamaboufu heralds the end of the spring and the beginning of the season in June, in which it rains very often.
