Otsuka Carrot
Carrots that grow incredibly long are a specialty of Ichikawa-Misato Town. These are the Otsuka Carrots. Otsuka Carrots are a traditional vegetable cultivated in the Otsuka district of Ichikawa-Misato Town. They belong to the 'Kokubu Senko Daicho' variety, averaging 60 to 80 cm in length, with some even exceeding 1 meter. The fertile volcanic ash soil of this region, known as 'noppui' for its lack of stones, allows the carrots to grow straight and long. They are characterized by their vibrant color, fine texture, strong sweetness, and rich aroma. When prepared as simmered dishes (nimono) or kinpira, you can fully enjoy their deep, savory flavor. Reaching their peak season as winter deepens, they are a pride of Ichikawa-Misato. If given as a gift, people will surely be surprised by both their length and deliciousness.
