It says you must dry/preserve them for a year in salt. Seems like a lot of time... lol

I just got a monster Momiji in a couple weeks ago … I see a lot of tempura in its future

Momiji leaves are very nice as decorative elements, and help complete the seasonal narrative of a course or meal.

I have not had the opportunity to try them fried yet at any tempura restaurants in Kyoto to Osaka. The article specifies Minoh, where I will be in the coming days, and that they are most popular in autumn months
