Its aroma and taste are similar to potatoes, but when made into potage, it has a slight pink color. It is a little thick in texture, with very rich and flavorful taste.

The pumpkin soup is made with the skin as well, since the pumpkins are grown with very little pesticides. They have been steamed in the oven with their skins then made into soup. Using two different pumpkin varieties gives the pumpkin a stronger natural sweetness and flavor, giving the well-balanced taste.
