Did you know that there are different types of eggplants? It is said that there are more than 200 varieties in Japan. Here, we will introduce three carefully selected types of eggplants.

medium-sized eggplant
It is one of the most commonly found varieties in supermarkets. The skin is thin and the flesh is soft. Therefore, it is a versatile variety that can be used in a wide range of dishes such as pickles, simmered dishes, and stir-fried dishes.
long eggplant
It is mainly produced in Kansai and Kyushu. Some are as long as 25 cm. It has a mild taste and is suitable for grilling and simmering.
round eggplant
It is a cute breed with a round shape. It is characterized by its soft skin and firm flesh. Because it does not easily fall apart when boiled, it is suitable for dishes such as boiled soy sauce, steak, and dengaku.
