Rokkesho Nagaimo (Japanese Mountain Yam)

The cool earth of Rokkesho Village slowly nurtures high-quality nagaimo. Rokkesho Village is one of Aomori's major production areas for nagaimo. The cool climate is ideal for cultivation, producing high-quality yams with fine texture and strong stickiness. Aomori Prefecture's nagaimo boasts the largest cultivation area in Japan and is a flagship agricultural product of the prefecture. Its charm lies in its low astringency and ease of eating even with the skin on. When grated into tororo, it offers a rich and powerful stickiness; when sliced into strips, you can enjoy a crisp and light texture. The village has also produced 'Rikusyu,' an authentic shochu made from these yams. This is a pride of Rokkesho, popular for direct-from-the-farm mail orders. Having just one box will expand your dining repertoire.
