Nozawana (野沢菜, Brassica rapa L. var. hakabura) is a Japanese leaf vegetable, often pickled.[1] It is of the same species as the common turnip and one of a Japanese variety of mustard leaf.[2] Its leaves are approximately 60–90 cm long.

Sometime between 1751-1764 it was taken by the master of a Buddhist temple who lived in Nozawa in the Kyoto mountains to the Nozawa-onsen village. It was cultivated around that area, and thus named Nozawana: na means vegetable in Japanese.

Pickled nozawana is one of the most typical local foods in Nagano Prefecture. It is also used in onigiri.[3]
