Mentha arvensis var. sachalinensis, also known as Mentha sachalinensis,[2] is known by the common name of Sachalin (or Sakhalin) mint.[1] It is a variety of field mint, native to Japan, Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, the Russian Far East (particularly Sakhalin island) and Norway.[2][3]
It is often used in teas and is quite easy to grow.[citation needed] The leaves grow in a circular form and the end of each stem. It is grown in Hungary for essential oil and menthol production.[4] It also contains a significant amount of pulegone.[5]
Foreign names for this plant include sachalinenminze in German;[3] ezo, kusa hakka and inu hakka in Japanese; and 东北薄荷 (dong bei bo he) in Chinese.[2][5]
