Tokushima Charcoal Lotus Root
You'll be surprised by its jet-black appearance. But in reality, it is a sweet lotus root confection. Tokushima Prefecture is one of Japan's leading producers of lotus root. The fine clay soil in the lower reaches of the Yoshino River nurtures high-quality lotus roots. This sweet is a dried, sweetened bean-style treat made by simmering Tokushima-grown lotus root with bamboo charcoal powder and sugar. You can enjoy this local specialty in a slightly unexpected way. With a chewy texture and the subtle sweetness of lotus root, it is a Japanese sweet where the gap between its impactful black appearance and flavor is enjoyable. With a shelf life of about two months, it is a long-lasting souvenir that serves as a great conversation piece by surprising people with its looks.
