Yamauchi potato soup introduction
In the southern part of Akita prefecture, taro is called “imonoko.” Among them, “Yamauchi imonoko” cultivated in the Yamauchi area of Yokote City is characterized by its unique stickiness and mellowness created under the soil and climate peculiar to the region. Fertile soil flows from the mountains and accumulates in rivers flowing in mountainous areas, accumulates nutrients by taking advantage of the difference in temperature and temperature in mountainous areas, and the morning mist that occurs collects dew from the leaves and is transmitted to potatoes. This “potato soup” made with plenty of “Yamauchi imonoko” has a soft and melting texture. In autumn, there is also a standard event called “Nabekko Excursion,” where children bring ingredients at school and make their own potato soup.
