Sugukina (vinegared stem vegetable) - Sugukina (English name) Brassica campestris L.var.neosuguki
A biennial plant of the Brassicaceae family. It is also called Suigukina because of its unique sour taste when pickled, and Kamona (Kamona) after the place name. The leaves are hairless and spatula-shaped, with various degrees of notching on the leaf margin. The roots swell to an inverted cone shape. It is a Kyoto specialty and is mostly cultivated in the Kyoto area, but has recently been grown in the Tamba region as well. Its history is unclear, but it is recognized that it has been cultivated for about 300 years, as it is mentioned in documents from the Edo period. It is a turnip/rapeseed species, and the old original species has become extinct, and the one cultivated today is derived from a cross between the original species and Shogoin turnip and rapeseed in the late Meiji period.

Japanese:
アブラナ科の二年草。漬物にすると独特の酸味があるところから,スイグキナともいい,また地名からカモナ(賀茂菜)ともいわれる。葉には毛がなく,へら形で,葉縁の欠刻程度は多様である。根は倒円錐状に肥大する。京都の特産で京都付近での栽培が多いが,最近では丹波地方でも作られるようになった。来歴は明らかではないが,江戸時代の文献に記載のあるところから,300年前後の栽培歴のあることが認められている。種としてはカブ・アブラナ類のもので,古い原種は絶滅し,現在栽培されているものは明治後期に,原種系と聖護院カブおよびナタネを交雑したものに由来している。
