Oyasai Yousei - Satoimo (Taurus Workshop)Satoimo · Taurus Workshop

From Taurus Workshop comes Satoimo from the Oyasai Yousei series, standing at approximately 140mm tall. Oyasai Yousei, which translates to Vegetable Fairies, is a series that anthropomorphizes vegetables into charming fairy-like characters. Satoimo represents the Japanese taro root, a staple ingredient in traditional Japanese cuisine. Satoimo is commonly prepared as nikkorogashi, simmered in a mixture of dashi stock, sake, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin until the taro absorbs the flavors and develops a glossy finish. The preparation process involves peeling, salting, and rinsing to remove the natural sliminess before slow simmering, making it a beloved comfort food in Japanese households. This figure from Taurus Workshop stands at 140mm tall and brings the humble satoimo to life as an adorable fairy character, celebrating the cultural significance of traditional Japanese ingredients.
