Piper kadsura (Choisy) Ohwi
Family: PiperaceaeEnglish: Japanese pepper (not to be confused with Japanese pepper vine)
Japanese: フウトウカズラ (姫姫榊, sometimes 姫ひさかき) [Fūtō Kazura]
Fruite ripen into beautiful red balls of pepper, but I've not heard of anyone really using this as a spice. This vine often grows over hedges by coastsa and towns.
