Yanai Natural Jingisou (Wild Yam)
These are natural wild yams grown in the fertile soil of Yanai City. We take pride in their intense stickiness and fine texture; when grated, they possess enough cohesion to be lifted with chopsticks. There are many ways to enjoy them: poured directly over barley rice as tororo rice, or diluted with dashi to accompany soba noodles. When used as a binder in okonomiyaki, they create a light and fluffy texture. It is a deeply nourishing bounty, packed with the nutrients of the mountains. The robust, wild stickiness nurtured by nature offers a strength that differs from commercially available Chinese yams (nagaimo). Another charm is how the mountain aroma rises as you grate it. If you visit Yanai, known for its white-walled streets, this mountain delicacy is a must-try.
