Tsunan Snow-Under Carrots
A blessing of winter in Tsunan, sleeping sweetly beneath the snow. In Tsunan Town, one of Japan's leading heavy snowfall areas, seeds are sown in summer and left to overwinter under the snow for about four months before being harvested in spring. It is said that as the carrots attempt to protect themselves within the snow, amino acids increase, eliminating the characteristic harshness of carrots and transforming them into a mild sweetness. In 2019, they were registered as a national Geographical Indication (GI) under the name 'Tsunan Snow-Under Carrots.' Growing protected by up to 2 to 3 meters of snow, they develop a vibrant orange color and a gentle sweetness reminiscent of fruit. They are exceptional in salads, juices, or simmered dishes. Please enjoy the natural sweetness nurtured by the snow country through its long winter.
