Bouchan variety

  • A mini chestnut-squash variety that's hard to find in supermarkets.
  • It tends to be juicier than regular kabocha — fluffy early in curing, softer and sweeter as curing goes on.

Prep and cooking

  • Scrub with baking soda and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Microwave 7–8 min · air fryer 180°C, 25 min · steamer 15 min
  • You can eat it skin and all. Try: kabocha porridge, kabocha eggslut, kabocha salad
Recipe: soup with cured kabocha

Kept until

  • Keeps for about 15 days in a cool, well-ventilated place.
  • Refrigeration keeps it longer but stops the curing. For long storage, remove the seeds, cut, wrap in plastic and freeze.
  • Yellow patches and scratches on the outside come from touching soil and leaves in the open field and don't affect the taste.

    They were so good I saved two, and they're still so fresh and delicious. Just a quick spin in the microwave and they're really sweet and tasty

    Seriously delicious haha. I'm eating one right now and can't stop marveling, so I'm leaving a review straight away haha. I'm a beginner cook so making it pretty was a fail lol, but my kid and I made an eggslut with cheese on top and they loved it, and the one we just steamed and opened up disappeared in no time lol. They say it's delicious

    I've found really delicious mini kabocha — exactly the sweet, fluffy squash I wanted. I tried to order more to send to my daughter, but this year's are already sold out :( Too bad, but next year I'll spread the word far and wide to my friends hahaha and buy them. Looking forward to the tangerines in winter too
