Manganji Pepper (Ayabe)
Thick-fleshed, large, and subtly sweet—the Manganji pepper is known as the 'King of Peppers.' It is a representative brand vegetable of Kyoto, extensively cultivated in Ayabe. Its roots trace back to the late Taisho and early Showa eras in the Manganji district of Maizuru City. It is said to have been created by crossing Fushimi-type peppers with the California Wonder variety, and its name is derived from its birthplace, Manganji. Today, cultivation has spread through the Kuninoku region, including Maizuru, Ayabe, and Fukuchiyama, under JA Kyoto. With low spiciness and few seeds, it is easy for everyone from children to adults to enjoy. Simply grill them and drizzle with a bit of soy sauce to fully savor their sweetness and melting texture.
