Characteristics

Kamisho Satoimo is a taro called as “Ono-Zairai” (meaning a native of Ono). The flesh is very dense and firm, and the firmness is maintained even if it is stewed. It also provides unique glutinous texture.

Link with the Production Area

Since the production area has a basin structure, the difference of temperature between day and night is wide. This natural condition increases the amount of starch in Kamisho Satoimo, and creates firmness even after cooking. The abundance of water resource coming from the Kuzuryu River and the Mana River helps effective irrigation during summer. Moreover, the production area has well-drained soil, which is suitable for taro production.
