Kitazawa Seed Company is the oldest seed company in America specializing in Asian vegetable seeds. Started by Gijiu Kitazawa in 1917 in San Jose, California, the seeds were primarily sold to Asian Americans who grew the vegetables to prepare traditional dishes. Nine decades later, once exotic vegetables like daikon and napa cabbage have become a part of American gardens and tastes. Today, Kitazawa offers more than 250 seed varieties of exceptional quality, all packaged in their beautifully illustrated manila packets.
