About Kitakami croquette

Kitakami croquettes are a local dish loved in Kitakami, Iwate Prefecture. The characteristic of these croquettes is that they use plenty of luxurious ingredients grown locally. “Futako Satoimo,” which can be said to play the leading role in croquettes, is characterized by its strong stickiness and rich flavor, creating a unique, smooth texture. In addition, Japanese black beef raised in the rich nature of Kitakami and pork from the prefecture, which is rich in nutrients such as vitamin B1 and minerals, give the croquettes a rich flavor and have plenty of volume. Furthermore, asparagus, which boasts the highest production volume in the prefecture, is added as an accent, creating a well-balanced flavor that won't let eaters get bored.
