In the farmlands of Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, rapeseed flowers (hana-na) are blooming with soft yellow flowers, adding color to the landscape.

Nagaokakyo's hana-na is designated as a "brand Kyoto vegetable." In Nagaokakyo, farmers who make up the Nagaokakyo Hana-na Committee grow it on about 14 hectares. It has a reputation for being cut shorter than other production areas, so nothing goes to waste, and almost 90% of it is shipped to the Kyoto Central Wholesale Market. As a vegetable that makes you feel the arrival of spring, the peak shipping season is from Setsubun to Hinamatsuri.
