| Product Description | The distinctive striped pattern and curved shape of our produce are achieved through a meticulous process known as "hilling." Ebi-imo, a variety of Japanese taro, is renowned for its robust stickiness and fluffy texture when steamed. Although the Nishiitamochi area of Tondabayashi City, home to Nakasuji Farm, has a longstanding reputation as an ebi-imo production hub, there was a decline in producers due to the challenges of cultivation. Nevertheless, through our farm's unique, attentive management practices—leveraging the well-drained soil of the Nishiitamochi region and carefully administering fertilizers and watering—we've successfully cultivated ebi-imo with an intensely concentrated, flavorful profile. |
