A variety of eggplants are produced around Japan. Other than the typical long egg-shaped kind, there are longer ones, bite-size ones and those with greenish-yellow skin, some of which you may see at the store. You can also order them directly from the production area.
How they are eaten depends on their shape and texture.
“Mizu-nasu,” literally “water eggplant,” is also a local variety, and those produced in the Senshu area in Osaka Prefecture are well known.
Although characterized by its large roundish egg shape, its foremost feature is the high water content. Tradition has it that “farmers would eat fresh mizu-nasu to hydrate themselves during field work.” Since the skin is soft and less astringent, it can be enjoyed lightly pickled or in a salad.

One of the greatest episodes in Japanese history occurred so long ago it is in danger of being forgotten.
The earliest rumblings were in the fifth century. The climax a palace revolt came in 645. It marked a new era. The name given it is fitting: Taika, “great reform.” There have been few greater. Japan entered it in semi-barbaric infancy. Few foresaw though some perhaps did the splendors of the Nara Period (710-94) a mere half-century ahead.
Behind the reform lay 250 years of contact with China, mother of arts, sciences and modes of government whose reverberations are felt worldwide to this day. Japan then scarcely had a government, properly speaking. Its imperial clan’s supposed descent from the sun goddess was vaguely acknowledged by other clans who persisted all the same in claiming their own dignity and going their own way. A “nation” in the modern or ancient Chinese sense hardly existed.
