Grated yamaimo (Dioscorea opposita) is called tororo in Japanese. Tororo is served on soba noodles, sashimi, steamed rice, and so on. Here is a recipe to make tororo for serving on hot steamed rice.
Ingredients:
* 1 lb yamaimo
* 1/3 cup dashi
* 2 Tbsp soy sauce
* 1 tsp mirin
Preparation:
Heat dashi, soy sauce, and mirin in a sauce pan. When the liquid boils, stop the heat. Let it cool. Peel yamaimo and grate it into a mortar. Grind grated yamaimo with a wooden pestle well. Add seasoned dashi soup little by little in yamaimo, grinding with a pestle. Adjust the amount of soup to add, depending on the thickness of grated yamaimo. Serve into individual soup cups or serve over a bowl of steamed rice.

The Yam(Tororo) used to be dug out from wild bush when I was child. Even today, some people do it because wild grown Yam is much rich in taste but it is very laborious job digging it out of some 1m or so deep soil.
