A regional specialty of Shiga Prefecture.
About Red Konnyaku (red-dyed konjac)
Red konnyaku is unusual even by Japanese standards. One theory says that the flamboyant warlord Oda Nobunaga had it dyed red; another credits the striking idea to Ōmi merchants who traveled around the country. Despite its vivid red color, it is not spicy—the color comes from iron(III) oxide.
