This is the variety grown in Kitami and the surrounding
areas. This is a new variety that was registered in 2002. The
shape of the pumpkin body is oval and its inside is thick, farinaceous
and deep yellow. Its quality is consistent even when it is preserved
for a long time, and it becomes even sweeter and produces a
nice flavor. This pumpkin contains a lot of starch and you can
enjoy its flaky texture. It is good for sweets and cakes due
to its strong flavor. |
