Aomori Washed-Burdock, Fragrant, Crisp & Grown in Japan’s No. 1 Burdock Region, Approx.200g(1pc) | Delivery: 30th~31th Oct

Discover the distinctive flavour of Japanese Gobo (Burdock Root) from Aomori, Japan’s leading burdock-producing prefecture. Prized in Japanese cuisine for its deep, earthy aroma and satisfying crunch, gobo brings a unique character to both simple everyday dishes and traditional Japanese cooking.

Aomori’s cool summer climate and fertile volcanic-ash soils provide excellent conditions for growing root vegetables. Particularly in the prefecture’s Pacific coastal region, these natural conditions have helped establish a long tradition of burdock cultivation. Aomori gobo is celebrated for its well-developed fragrance, firm yet pleasantly crisp texture, and rich flavour that becomes gently sweet when cooked.

This gobo comes washed, with the soil removed while its natural skin remains intact. This makes preparation easier without sacrificing the flavour concentrated near the skin. A light scrub is all that is needed before slicing and cooking.

Enjoy it in kinpira gobo, a classic Japanese stir-fry with soy sauce and sesame, or add thin slices to hot pots, soups and simmered dishes. Its aromatic depth and distinctive texture make it a wonderfully versatile ingredient.
