"Petasites japonicus", 菜蕗 also known as Fuki, bog rhubarb, or giant butterbur, is an herbaceous perennial plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Japan, where the spring growth is relished as a vegetable.

The traditional preparation method for this vegetable involves pre-treating with salt and soaking in water, a technique known as itazuri, or removing harshness.

Like other Petasites, fuki contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which have been associated with cumulative damage to the liver.
