Tentang bahan ini
Round, dense Kyoto-heritage eggplant cultivar grown in the Kamo / Kamigamo area of Kyoto. One of the recognised 'Kyoto Heirloom Vegetables' (Kyo-Yasai). Distinguished from common eggplant by its near-spherical shape, dense flesh, and minimal seed cavity — making it ideal for grilling and miso-stewed dishes. Production is small (cooperative-controlled in Kyoto) and commands per-kg pricing 5-10× standard nasu. Distinct from existing vegetable entries.
