Tanabe Eggplant

The cute, rounded shape is packed with the food culture of Kyoto. Tanabe Eggplant is a traditional vegetable passed down in Kyotanabe and is officially recognized as a Kyoto brand product. Cultivated in Kyotanabe City since ancient times, these round eggplants are characterized by their thick flesh and soft skin, which develops a melt-in-your-mouth texture when heated. They pair excellently with oil; when prepared as dengaku, they integrate perfectly with the richness of the miso, and when fried as tempura, their juicy sweetness stands out. Even when simmered, they are exquisite as they soak up plenty of dashi. As a traditional Kyoto vegetable that supports the name of Kyotanabe alongside Gyokuro tea, the plump flavor of carefully cultivated Tanabe Eggplant is unforgettable once tasted.
