What are some garden plants that I can easily grow in Japan?

I have a small garden in Japan. I have already turned over the soil and the soil is rich. Now I need some plants. Preferably, I want some plants that you can eat like tomatoes and can grow fast. Thanks!

1. haha weed!!!
2. Try planting corns! I'm not sure but here in Hokkaido, Summer-sunflowers, morning glory are easy to plant. If the season is cold, try strawberries, except winter. But before winter (autumn) here in Hokkaido, people plant cabbage, when winter comes, cabbages under the thick snow are amazingly sweet! hope I helped!
3. They are certainly revered and highly appreciated in the Orient, particularly in Japan where the long, white daikon radish is a major food.

4. Well start with tomatoes add basil, sweet basil and siam basil are delish. Lettuce, cumcumbers and melons are great also. Peppers should do well also
