| 10 | Western Honey Bee | Bees that are breed for their honey, the worker bees break down the nectar from flowers in their bodies to make honey. That’s why humans won’t taste honey if they suck nectar directly from flowers. |
| 11 | Carder Bee | This bee creates its nest in pipes and tree cavities. They cut rounds out of leaves from the kudzu vine to make their nest. Since the leaves are larger than the bee, they have quite a hard time flying back to the nest. Location: Can be found at Phantom Field |

| Order | Vegetable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ostrich Fern | A mushroom that grows on fallen trees like beeches. The ones found in the wild are thicker but have a bitter taste. Its mild flavour makes it great for Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine. Location: Mountain area |
| 2 | Shiso | This variety of shiso, also called green perilla, is a type of vegetable high in beta-carotene. It has a strong acne that keeps insects at bay and is a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine. Location: Field Irrigation Path, Unbent Village Civic Centre |
| 3 | Japanese Parsley | One of the seven spring flowers in Japan. It has a strong aroma and crunchy texture similar to celery. Beware of the cowbane, which looks similar, but is poisonous. Location: Most places in Unbent Village |
| 4 | Wild Wasabi | Like the name suggests, this wild wasabi grows in the wilds of the mountains. It’s also called horseradish. It’s said to be 1.5 times hotter than green wasabi. |
| 5 | Negamari Bamboo | This wild vegetable is formally called Sasa kurilensis. It is a small but tasty bamboo shoot that is not a bamboo tree, but a bamboo grass. Often sold under the name himetake. Location: Mountain area |
| 6 | Angelica Tree Sprouts | Sprouts of the Japanese angelica tree. It has a firm, somewhat strange texture with a slightly bitter flavour. Sometimes called the king of wild vegetables, it’s less bitter and easier to eat when cultivated. |
| 7 | Honey Fungus | Brown mushrooms that grow on trees and vegetables. The glowing mycelium can create the illusion of a glowing tree. The smaller ones are plump and supposedly taste better. Location: Mountain area |
| 8 | White Beech Mushroom | This plant from the Dioscoreaceae family is the main ingredient in Tororo grated yam. It features sharply pointed calcium oxalate crystals that can cause itching. Freeze them in advance to prevent itching. |
| 9 | Matsutake | A high-quality mushroom that usually grows on pine trees. When heated, it releases a gentle aroma similar to soybeans, but some people dislike this smell. The light flavour goes well with fancy Japanese cuisine. Location: Mountain Path by Stream |
| 10 | Tomato | This plant belongs to the Nightshade family and is also high in beta-carotene. It is nutritious, especially in the summer. If you use a toothpick to poke 3 holes in a mini tomato, it’s less likely to squirt juice all over the place. |
| 11 | Onion | A plant from the Amaryllidaceae family. It’s quite spicy when eaten raw, but is sweeter when heated. White clusters of flowers bloom in the fall, resembling a large dandelion. |
| 12 | Eggplant | The eggplant also belongs to the Nightshade family. It goes well with any meal since it doesn’t have a strong flavour. Coat it in lemon, vinegar, or oil before applying heat to prevent discolouration. |
| 13 | Shallot | A plant from the Amaryllidaceae family. It’s been used in Japan for over 1000 years and goes well with Japanese food. The contrast between the spicy flavour when eaten raw and the sweet flavour when cooked makes it a popular ingredient. |
| 14 | Carrot | One of a few root vegetables that contains ample beta-carotene. Apply heat to plants in the Aplaceae family to produce a sweet flavour. However, heating finely chopped carrots in a microwave can cause sparks, so be careful! |
| 15 | Potato | This plant is also from the Nightshade family. Staple or side dish, this all-rounder excels in any role. While the potato itself is safe to eat, the buds, stems, leaves and flowers are all poisonous and should not be eaten. |
| 16 | Corn | This plant from the Gramineae family is a staple for both people and livestock, however, sweet corn is the variety eaten by people. For varieties used for popcorn, you should definitely use a lid before adding heat. |
| 17 | Cabbage | A plant from the Cruciferae family that is soft and mild in taste. This is a versatile ingredient available year-round that can be eaten raw, boiled, or baked. Chop the stalk into tiny pieces and use it as a substitute for rice. |
| 18 | Cucumber | A plant from the Cucurbitaceae family. Its skin contains beta-carotene, while the pulp contains Vitamin C and minerals. The white secretion on the surface of the plant is natural and harmless. |
| 19 | Chinese Yam | This plant from the Dioscoreaceae family is the main ingredient in tororo grated yam. It features sharply pointed calcium oxalate crystals that can cause itching. Freeze them in advance to prevent itching. |
| 20 | Spinach | This beta-carotene rich plant belongs to the Amaranthaceae family and can be eaten in large quantities since it decreases in size when heat is applied. Add a spoonful of sugar before boiling to reduce bitterness. |
| 21 | Napa Cabbage | A plant from the Cruciferae family. It becomes more delicious in colder weather and goes well with winter dishes. It’s high in fibre and the mild taste makes it easy to eat in large portions. |
| 22 | Pepper | A plant from the Nightshade family high in beta-carotene. It tastes spicy when eaten whole or as a powder. Supposedly, it can even make the smoke from smoked food spicy. It’s so spicy that bugs won’t come near it. |
