Shiraishi Lotus Root
The moment the knife cuts through, a chewy elasticity is felt. Shiraishi lotus root is a variety where an elegant sweetness spreads the more you chew. Shiraishi Town in Saga Prefecture is a land where the Shiraishi Plain, created from the reclamation of the Ariake Sea, extends with heavy clay soil. This mineral-rich soil grows high-sugar lotus roots. A charming feature is how the texture changes with the seasons: crisp and juicy in summer, and soft and fluffy in winter. With a cultivation area larger than sixty Tokyo Domes, it is a representative specialty of the town. Crispy when sautéed, chewy when simmered. It shows different faces depending on the dish. Please enjoy Shiraishi lotus root, which sometimes sells out immediately locally, at your dining table.
