Due to the growing Korean wave, many Japanese are trying these dishes, which have become popular in places like Tokyo's Shin-Okubo district. Demand for water parsley has increased its price, despite a decline in production. Known for its detoxifying properties and health benefits, water parsley has been part of Korean cuisine since the Goryeo Dynasty, offering various culinary and health advantages.
