Highlights

• Made using Nagano's traditional produce
• Luxuriously thick texture perfectly coats salads
• Savory and sour with a subtle kick of spice

This unique salad dressing is luxuriously thick with a subtle spiciness. Naturally thickened with nagaimo, a Japanese mountain yam that takes on a viscous texture when grated, this dressing coats salad ingredients to ensure each bite is perfectly seasoned. The earthy flavor of the mountain yam works wonderfully with the subtle sweet-tart taste of the rice vinegar and koji. The star ingredient is the botan koshou. A type of green chili pepper local to the Shinshu area of Nagano, it adds color and spice to many regional dishes. Finished with white soy sauce and dashi granules, this dressing has a complex sour and savory flavor.
