red konjac introduction

Red konjac, which is rare even across the country, has been said to have been dyed red by a flashy favorite Nobunaga Oda, and there are theories that say that Omi merchants who had been around the country came up with a quirky idea. It has a very red color, but it is not spicy because it is dyed with iron tri-dioxide.
