Matsuda Jinenjo (Wild Yam)
When grated, it possesses such a strong stickiness that it can be lifted with chopsticks. The concentrated essence of the mountains is captured in its light, earthy aroma. Matsuda Jinenjo is an autumn and winter delicacy nurtured by the foothills of the Tanzawa Mountains. Jinenjo is a type of mountain yam native to Japan; it is said that the greater the temperature fluctuations in the mountain valleys where they grow, the richer the flavor, aroma, and viscosity become. The fertile soil spreading across the foot of Tanzawa is perfect for its cultivation. Each tuber, raised with great care and effort, holds the powerful flavor unique to wild yam. Served as tororo rice (grated yam over rice), you will find yourself wanting endless bowls. It can also be enjoyed diluted in dashi broth or prepared as isobe-age (deep-fried in seaweed). It is a nutritious bounty from the mountains of Tanzawa.
