The Hokkaido pumpkin, also known as Uchiki Kuri or Japanese pumpkin, is one of the most well-known edible pumpkins. A major advantage of this variety is the size of 1 to about 3 kilos. The flesh of a Hokkaido pumpkin is firm in texture, sweet, and nutty in flavor. The pumpkin has a soft skin. Because the skin is so soft, you can perfectly use the pumpkin without peeling it first. But of course, it is also delicious to stuff it.
