Hida Sukuna Pumpkin Roll
Have you ever heard of a mysterious-looking pumpkin that is long and slender, much like a luffa? This is the 'Sukuna Pumpkin,' a traditional vegetable of Hida Takayama. Its name is derived from 'Ryomen-sukuna,' a powerful clan leader said to have pioneered the Hida region about 1,600 years ago. It is said that the history of this pumpkin began around 1980, when a master brewer (Toji) from Niigata brought the seeds while visiting a local sake brewery. When heated, the pumpkin becomes fluffy, sweet, and smooth, making it a popular ingredient for sweets. This roll cake features that rich pumpkin paste mixed into whipped cream and rolled in a fluffy sponge cake. With just one bite, a gentle sweetness spreads through your mouth. It is a single roll packed with the essence of autumn in Hida.
