Ibusuki Okra
Okra is beloved for its sliminess and vibrant green color. In fact, Ibusuki is a major production area boasting the highest production volume in Japan. Ibusuki's strength lies in its ability to harvest over a long period by combining greenhouse and open-field cultivation, taking advantage of the warm climate. It accounts for approximately forty percent of the national share within Kagoshima Prefecture, with Ibusuki serving as the central hub. Through cultivation methods that rely less on pesticides—utilizing beneficial insects like ladybugs—they continue to produce okra that is kind to both people and the environment. With over a thousand producing farmers, it has become a major agricultural product supporting the region. Whether chopped atop rice or lightly boiled for a side dish, please enjoy its fresh, crunchy texture and sweetness at your dining table.
