Distinctively sticky with a crisp texture
About Iwakuni Renkon (Regional lotus root)
Iwakuni City is one of Japan’s leading lotus root-producing areas. Iwakuni Renkon is known for its chewy texture and dense flesh; when sliced, it draws into threads.
It is said that the lord of the domain was delighted because the lotus root’s nine holes resembled the crest of the Kikkawa family, who ruled Iwakuni during the Edo period. Iwakuni Renkon is used in local dishes such as ōhira and Iwakuni sushi.
