A starchy, mild-flavoured tuber (日本山药/rì běn shān yào) with a uniquely smooth, almost creamy texture when cooked. Popular in Japanese and Chinese cooking — delicious simmered in soups, braised, or grated raw (tororo). Rich in dietary fibre and known in traditional medicine for supporting digestion.
