About Steamed Hyuga Pumpkin

Steamed Hyuga Pumpkin (日向かぼちゃの蒸し物, Hyuga kabocha no mushimono) features the unique "Hyuga pumpkin," a traditional vegetable lovingly grown in Miyazaki Prefecture, which enjoys one of the sunniest climates in Japan. This distinctive black-skinned pumpkin, also known as "Hyuga kabocha," has been cherished by locals for generations.
