I have not seen the plant myself in the field, but its globular rootstocks used as food 

 there by the Aino inhabitants were shown to me. They call them toma, and cook them 

 by boiling with a certain kind of clayey earth, found on the beach, to remove the bitter 

 taste. The rootstock is exactly the same as that of the Yezo plant, which is also called 

 by the same name and used for the same purpose.
