Okinoerabu Potatoes

Okinoerabbage Island in the Amami Islands is a famous production area for new potatoes, which are shipped ahead of the rest of the country. This island, consisting of Wakamatsu and China Towns, was formed by the uplift of coral reefs. Coral lies beneath the red soil, and its rich minerals help grow delicious potatoes. Known as one of Japan's earliest sources of new potatoes, the peak harvest season occurs from February to April. Their charm lies in their sticky sweetness and fluffy texture. Packed with natural umami, these potatoes are perfect for stews or fried dishes. Even a simple boil with salt allows you to enjoy their hearty sweetness. Please try this taste of spring nurtured by the island.
