June is when the gardens start to burst with fresh vegetables. Following is a list of seasonal vegetables for the month of June. Perhaps the best place to see these prepared in a variety of dishes is in the prepared foods section of any depachika. My personal favorites are Takashimaya (Nihonbashi or Shinjuku) or Isetan in Shinjuku.

Lettuce
Kohlrabi
Radish
