Tennoji |Dried Turnips (Hoshikabura)

In the Tennoji territory of Higashinari District, Settsu Province, turnips are a famous local product. Many farmers plant turnips and bring the fresh ones to market.

|However, |they mainly produce dried turnips and sell them. From the twelfth month through the New Year, they build high bamboo fences to dry them. Also, in the area known as Kizu-Imamiya, they specialize in producing dried turnips. Kizu-Imamiya turnips are perfectly round, while Tennoji ones are slightly elongated. Kizu-Imamiya turnips do not compare to those of Tennoji.

* "Gokugetsu" refers to the twelfth month.
