Grated Dioscorea opposita Japanese tororo Grated Dioscorea opposita Japanese tororo Tororo blackbean udon from Tamba 丹波ã?®é»’豆ã?¨ã‚?ã‚?ã?†ã?©ã‚“ Tororo blackbean udon from Tamba 丹波ã?®é»’豆ã?¨ã‚?ã‚?ã?†ã?©ã‚“ Dioscorea opposita nagaimo, yamaimo, Chinese yam, Japanese mountain yam, Korean yam; syn. D. batatas, D. oppositifolia is a type of yam Dioscorea that may be eaten raw. It is known as either nagaimo kanji: 長芋; hiragana: ã?ªã?Œã?„ã‚‚ or yamaimo kanji: 山芋; hiragana: ã‚„ã?¾ã?„ã‚‚ in Japanese, depending on root shape. In Chinese it is known as huái shÄ?n 淮山, shÄ?n yà o å±±è?¯, or huái shÄ?n yà o 淮山è?¯. In Korea it is called ma hangul: 마; hanja: 麻. Dioscorea opposita is an exception to the rule that yams must be cooked before consumption due to harmful substances in the raw state. In Japanese cuisine, it is eaten raw and grated, after only a relatively minimal preparation: the whole tubers are briefly soaked in a vinegar-water solution, to neutralize irritant oxalate crystals found in their skin. The raw vegetable is starchy and bland, mucilaginous when grated, and may be eaten plain as a side dish, or added to noodles. Dioscorea opposita is used in the Japanese cold noodle dish tororo udon/soba. The grated nagaimo is known as tororo in Japanese. In tororo udon/soba, the tororo is mixed with other ingredients that typically include tsuyu broth dashi, wasabi, and green onions. Jinenjo Dioscorea japonica, also called wild yam is related variety of Japanese yam that is used as an ingredient in soba noodles. Contents 1 Homosexual lubricant 2 Medical uses 3 Notes 4 See also 5 External links Homosexual lubricant The jelly-like substance made from grating the yam, tororojiru ã?¨ã‚?ã‚?æ±?, is often served in, or alongside, a number of other dishes. Interestingly, perhaps, this was widely used in the Edo period as a personal lubricant for homosexual activities, and it was thus considered improper for it to be eaten by a woman. This aversion also derives from the loud slurping sound one makes when eating it, which is considered to be un-ladylike1. Medical uses The tuber is also used often in dried form in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbology. Notes ^ Dunn, C. and B. Torigoe 1969. The Actors Analects.
