Sand Dune Rakkyo (Pickled Shallots)
Crunchy and crisp. As soon as you take a bite, a pleasant texture and a refreshing sweet-and-sour flavor spread through your mouth. These are beautiful shallots—pure white with thin, many-layered skins. They are grown in the dune fields of Fuku, adjacent to the Tottable Sand Dunes. This is a harsh environment with poor water and nutrient retention, once even referred to as a "barren land." However, the resilient "rakuda" (camel) variety has adapted magnificently to this sandy soil. It is said that full-scale cultivation first succeeded in 1914 (Taisho 3) by Mr. Yomizo Hamamoto in the Fuku dune fields. Because they endure the lean soil and the winter cold, the flesh becomes firm, creating that signature whiteness and crunch. In autumn, the entire dune area is covered in purple flowers. This is a single pride of Tottori, born from the harsh sandy terrain.
