About Saitama Taro

Taro, a root vegetable even mentioned in ancient Japanese poetry like the Manyoshu, has long been an essential part of Japan’s food culture. Among all regions, Saitama Prefecture boasts the highest taro production in the country. What sets Saitama Taro apart is its unique, creamy texture and rich flavor, making it a top-quality choice. Once you experience its velvety mouthfeel, other taro may seem lacking in comparison.

The best way to enjoy it is simply simmered or prepared in traditional dishes like "ni-shime" (simmered vegetables). Saitama also offers creative taro-based treats like taro shochu, taro croquettes, and even taro-filled dorayaki (pancake sandwiches).
