Natural Chinese Yam from Tsutsuji Village
When you pour grated Chinese yam over rice and eat it, it becomes thick and rich, with a sticky texture that clings to your mouth. Tsutsuji Village is a mountain village blessed with pure water and abundant nature. The Chinese yams grown there are a type of wild yam native to Japan, characterized by their incredibly strong stickiness. Once grated, the texture becomes so thick it can almost be picked up with chopsticks; it can be enjoyed nutritiously as tororo-jiru (grated yam soup) diluted with dashi or simply poured over warm rice. With a deep umami flavor and a smooth, pleasant passage down the throat, these yams—packed with the blessings of the mountains—have long been cherished as a restorative food. It is a simple yet powerful taste of the mountains of Tsutsuji Village. Please enjoy it alongside piping hot rice.
