Taro Pie

Sticky and chewy. This Taro Pie wraps the deliciousness of Okinawa's traditional ingredient, taro (turnum), in a crispy pie. Taro is a type of colocasia known as 'turnum' in the local dialect, and it is grown in paddy fields. Kin Town, blessed with abundant spring water, is its famous production area. Because it produces many small tubers, it is also called 'warau-imo' (laughing potato), making it an auspicious ingredient essential for celebratory occasions. This treat consists of taro cooked sweetly into a paste and wrapped in fragrant pie crust. The combination of the potato's sticky sweetness and the light, crispy texture of the pie is irresistible. It is perfect with tea and also delicious when served chilled. When you visit Kin Town, please try this local flavor nurtured by the village of spring water.
