|Omi|Turnip|

The Omi turnip is extremely large. The largest ones are so heavy that one can barely carry five or six in a single load. People who come here and see them for the first time are truly astonished.

There are no turnips from other provinces as large as these. Also, the Tennoji turnip from Settsu Province is a famous product. Although it is not as large as the Omi turnip, its flavor is exceptionally delicious. It is dried and sent to the Three Cities. It is a specialty known far and wide.

* "Sankatsu" refers to the three ports. It refers to the three cities of Kyoto, Osaka, and Edo during the Edo period. Pronounced 'Sankatsu'.
