Japan Pumpkin Farm, Kabocha squash, also known as Japanese pumpkin, is a sweeter cousin of butternut squash – Taking a look at Asian Pumpkin Farming
It’s dense like butternut, which makes it great for soups and curries, but it’s also sweet like pumpkin and is even used in some desserts in Japan. Most of the kabocha grown in the United States gets shipped directly over to Japan, but you get a chance to try out this delicious Asian favorite yourself!
