This is a food product that is essential to meals in Okinawa to celebrate events, such as New Year’s Day and the Bon Festival of the lunar calendar, as it is said in Okinawa that it leads to the prosperity of one’s descendants, as the young taro potatoes grow as if they are surrounding the taro potato.

The scenery of the large leaves of the Taimo blowing in the wind can be considered one of the most beautiful scenes in Kin Town.

The Taimo harvested in Kin Town are highly rated as being “juicy, rich in texture, full of aroma, and delicious.” Also, confectionery shops in Kin Town have been developing various sweets using Taimo in recent years, assisting the public relations concept of “Kin Town, the town of Taimo.”
