Ozu no Imotaki
Take a single piece of taro from the bubbling pot. When you pierce it with your chopsticks, it breaks apart softly and melts in your mouth with a rich, creamy texture. Having absorbed the broth cooked alongside chicken, shiitake mushrooms, and konnyaku, the taro is subtly sweet and deeply delicious. This is Ozu's autumn specialty, Imotaki. Spreading mats by the riverside and gathering around the pot while gazing at the moon—this tradition was born from an autumn custom that has continued for hundreds of years, where people would gather on the banks of the Hiji River, bringing freshly harvested taro to share stories. The clear night sky and the steaming pot; the true essence of Ozu's Imotaki is savoring the entire scenery. With its warm broth and fluffy taro, it is a dish that warms even your heart during the long autumn nights.
