Senshu Mizunasu (Kishiwada)
When you bite into it, juice bursts forth. With more moisture than one would expect from an eggplant and a subtle sweetness, the Senshu Mizunasu is characterized by a freshness that feels closer to 'drinking' than 'eating.' It features a plump, rounded shape with thin, tender skin. Because it has very little astringency, it can even be eaten raw. Cultivated in the Senshu region since ancient times, it is said that its name, 'Mizunasubi,' appears in literature dating back to the Muromachi period. The lightly pickled version, which highlights its juicy nature, is particularly popular, and it remains a beloved brand vegetable of the Senshu area, such as Kishiwada, alongside traditional rice bran pickles (nukazuke). A single bite brings the summer of Senshu to life. It is a gift of early summer, capturing intense freshness within its soft skin.
