Characteristics

Imakane Danshaku is a Danshaku potato characterized by its floury, meltingly soft mouthfeel, pale beautiful skin, and consistent quality, with starch levels of 13.5% or higher. It has received top ratings for quality, taste, and appearance thanks to the strict product selection standards in place.

Link with the Production Area

Local conditions--inland climate with large diurnal temperature range, and well-drained fertile volcanic ash soil--are favorable for potato production. Producers have focused on growing the Danshaku variety since 1953. Potato tubers for planting have been grown by dedicated seed potato producers since 1967, which is one of the community-wide quality improvement measures implemented over the years.
