What is Chomeiso?

Chomeiso, a plant of the parsley family, grows wild on Yonaguni Island, the western-most island of Japan. On sheer cliffs battered by the waves, this plant grows indomitably in the face of relentless sunshine and salty sea breezes. Due to this astonishing vitality, which allows Chomeiso to grow on the desolate cliff faces of the natural environment, this plant has been loved by the people since ancient times and revered as a food resource that encourages longevity.
