Matsushige Lotus Root
Matsushige Town is one of the premier lotus root production areas in Tokushima Prefecture. The environment, blessed with fertile soil from the Yoshino River estuary and abundant water, nurtures high-quality lotus roots. Carefully grown in the mud, these lotus roots are characterized by a pleasant, crisp texture and a subtle sweetness. As a lucky charm symbolizing 'seeing into the future' through their holes, they are indispensable for New Year's and celebratory dishes. You can enjoy different textures depending on the cooking method: fluffy when made into tempura, and crunchy when prepared as kinpira or simmered dishes. Freshly harvested lotus roots available at local farm stands are a pride of Matsushige, representing its signature vegetable. It is a good luck item that is cherished for the belief that fortune can be seen through its holes.
