Most potatoes are harvested after they are completely ripe, but the timing of harvesting Mikatahara potatoes is before they are fully ripe, so it seems to be in a thin skin and clean state.

The beginning of cultivation in this area dates back to the early Taisho era.

Nowadays, it has become a brand of “Mikatahara potato” which is highly evaluated nationwide as a high quality potato with a brilliant white appearance and a lot of starch and sweetness.
