Click on the photo to enlarge it. See the really little taro?
There were two questions about taro, so I will answer them here.
Taro is taro in English. It is satoimo in Japanese.
Click on the label "taro" at the bottom of the post to see a picture of the vegetable. Baba has peeled satoimo, cut it, and simmered it until soft. Then she mashed it and stirred/whipped it. It's sticky. It's not a favorite upstairs! We've eaten downstairs. I haven't seen or smelled it in a long time. I think Jiji (grandfather) was the one who liked it. He passed away four years ago.

In another word, Taro is yam? I thought I can recognized the leaves.
Annie, how is taro prepared in Japan?
