Tsukune-imo
When grated, it produces such a thick, sticky consistency that it won't even break when lifted with chopsticks. When served as tororo over hot rice, it creates a rich, hearty meal where the texture clings to your mouth with a chewy goodness. Tsukune-imo is a type of mountain yam that grows in round clumps. Because it has low moisture content and a dense flesh, it is characterized by having an exceptionally strong stickiness compared to many other types of mountain yams. Aomori is the northernmost production area where this Tsukune-imo thrives. In addition to being grated for tororo, using it as a binder in Japanese confectionery dough creates a soft and light mouthfeel. Strongly adhesive and full of nourishment. It is a powerful root grown in the fields of the northern lands.
