Iwakuni Lotus root

Iwakuni Lotus root introduction

Iwakuni is one of the leading production areas of lotus root in Japan. The distinctive feature of Iwakuni Lotus root is the texture of mochi mochi. The fruit is stuffed, and from the cut we draw the thread. It is said that the lord of the domain was very pleased because the family crest of the Yoshikawa family who ruled Iwakuni in the Edo period was very similar to the Iwakuni lotus root with nine holes. It is used in Iwakuni local cuisine such as Ohira and Iwakuni sushi.
