A biennial plant of the Brassicaceae family, native to northern China, it is also widely cultivated in Japan and is one of the important vegetables in the Orient, used in stews and pickles. Taxonomically, it is considered a variety of rape, producing soft, juicy yellow-green leaves and flower stalks that grow in spring. The flowers are cross-shaped like rape flowers, but are pale yellow. It was introduced to Japan at the end of the Meiji period, and active breeding was carried out from the Showa period onwards. Some varieties are semi-heading and others are head-forming, and Santou Hakusai (Shandong Chinese cabbage), which does not form heads at all, is also considered to be a different variety of the same species. Seeds are usually sown in August and harvested in November and December. It grows well in the Kanto and Tohoku regions.
