Takaoka Daibutsu Croquette

A perfectly round, large croquette measuring about fourteen centimeters in diameter. This is the local specialty of Takaoka City, known as the 'Takaoka Daibutsu Croquette.' It was named after the Takaoka Daibutsu, which is counted as one of the three great Buddha statues in Japan, to emulate its impressive appearance. Originally, Takaoka has been one of the leading 'croquette towns' in Japan in terms of consumption. However, feeling that the city lacked a signature specialty, local volunteers stepped up, and this large croquette was born in 2005. The name 'Daibutsu Croquette' is copyright-free, and it has since expanded to various shops throughout the city. This large, crispy bite offers a truly satisfying eating experience. When walking through the streets of Takaoka, please try enjoying one while it is freshly fried. It is packed with the true spirit of the croquette town.
