Gosen Taro

This is Gosen's brand taro, beautiful and pure white like silk. When peeled, its bright white flesh is compared to 'kinu' (silk), a specialty of Gosen, leading it to be named 'Kinuotome'. Grown in the fertile soil brought by the Agano River, this taro boasts fine white flesh, a moderate sliminess, and a smooth texture that holds up well during simmering without falling apart. Its high quality is so exceptional that it was selected as an offering for the Daijosai (Great Thanksgiving Festival) following the enthronement of the Emperor on two separate occasions, during the Heisei and Reiwa eras. When prepared as a simmered dish infused with dashi, its creamy mouthfeel is irresistible. A masterpiece Gosen is proud of, perfect for special occasions, it will enrich your dining table from autumn through winter.
