It might be a little confusing but there are two Aralia species in Japanese cuisine that have two similar edible relatives in North America.

Aralia cordata (udo) - Aralia racemosa
Aralia elata (taranome) - Aralia spinosa

Unlike cordata, the stalks of racemosa are too thin and fibrous while young but the leaves are edible.

Aralia spinosa, devil’s walking stick 🧵

Please don’t flame me for growing this plant. The #pollinators love it and the leaves taste nice (slightly minty asafoetida).

Bark, roots and unripe berries can cause contact dermatitis and/or allergies. Ripe berries are mildly toxic in large quantities besides not tasting very good.
