Senshu Mizunasu (Sennan)
Senshu Mizunasu is so succulent that water drips when squeezed. In Sennan City, they are cultivated as part of the prestigious Senshu brand. Its history is ancient, appearing in the Muromachi period text 'Teikin Ora' under the name 'Sawanasu'. Unlike common eggplants, this rare variety has almost no astringency and can be eaten raw due to its subtle sweetness and tenderness. The current mainstream version, 'Senshu Kinpi Mizunasu', was developed through the breeding of the 'Kinchaku-type' varieties during the 1950s. First, try tasting it pickled in rice bran (nukazuke). You will be surprised by the sweetness that fills your mouth, with skin that melts away and juicy flesh. It is an indispensable local specialty for the dining table during the hot season.
