Not to worry, I grow Yatsafusa, Hontaka and Santaka, as well as many other
Japanese chiles. I originally got the seeds from a former student who is
an ag professor in Japan. He is also the source of many of my seeds from
rural China.
All the Japanese peppers were very popular this year, much more than
usual. The big seller this season: Aji Limon. I'll be saving a lot of that
seed this year!
