Goroshima Kintoki, sweet potatoes produced in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, will be presented in Christmas color shipping boxes (*Close date: December 25). When JA Kanazawa City planned a Christmas campaign, it received a number of positive responses, including those who sympathized with the call for 「national production for national consumption」.
Today, you too can be a part of the #Goroshimakintoki Spread the Word!
Goroshimakintoki is a sweet potato produced mainly in the Goroshima and Awagasaki areas of Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and Uchinada Sand Dunes, and is one of Kaga’s traditional vegetables.
Goroshima Kintoki is a “saccharine” variety, which is selected from the No. 14 variety of the Takasei lineage. Goroshimakintoki is the most sugary type of sweet potato in Japan, and is characterized by its sweet and flaky texture compared to other sweet potatoes. Moreover, the best season for sweet potatoes is not fall but winter.
The “seasonal” sweet potatoes can be purchased through the 『JA Kanazawa City 【official】』 Twitter campaign 「Christmas Campaign #Goroshima Kintoki Spreading #Kokusyo Kokusan」 「1 case (3 kg) of Goroshima Kintoki will be given away to 3 winners by lottery」 「Follow & Like to apply Deadline for application: 2022 The application deadline: December 25, 2022 (Sun.)」.
The slogan 「Kokusyo Kokusan」 is a slogan posted by the JA Group on its website, which means 「produce as much food as possible in the country where the people need and consume it」.
Therefore, the call for the 「Christmas Campaign #Goroshimakintoki Spreading Squad」 was answered by many people, such as 「I know everyone is having a hard time because of the heavy snowfall, but this is a wonderful campaign, so I’m going to apply!」 「The first time I ate Goroshimakintoki, it was so sweet and delicious that I became a #Goroshimakintoki hirometai」.
Speaking of JA Kanazawa City, there are also encounters like this
When I posted a “healing” two-shot, the response was, 「Hey, wasn’t there a handshake session with Hinatazaka in Kanazawa today?」
