Experience Fresh Yamaimo from Aomori Japan!

Aomori prefecture is one of the main producers of nagaimo, accounting for approximately 40 percent of the Japanese market. Nagaimo is mainly farmed in the eastern Nanbu region, specifically in Towada city, Misawa city, and Tohoku town. The Nanbu region is susceptible to cold weather damage due to the Yamase wind (cold wet easterly wind) that blows in from the Pacific Ocean. As a result, the Nanbu region has become the major farming area for cold-resistant root vegetables such as nagaimo, garlic, and burdock root.
