Kiku imo (chrysanthemum potato)

This potato variety is cultivated mainly in Yamagata City. It used to grow naturally, but full-fledged cultivation began in 1987 as the local soil was sandy and well-suited to this type of crop. The pattern of its cut section resembles the flower of the kiku (chrysanthemum), and therefore it came to be known as “kiku imo.” Pickled potatoes using miso paste or sake lees are dearly loved as local specialties.
