Kabocha squash is a staple of Japanese cuisine. In restaurants, you may have enjoyed it dipped in tempura batter and fried, or slow simmered in hot pots or soups. And while this winter squash may look like pumpkin’s short and stocky cousin, it’s actually closer to sweet potato in flavor and texture. Buttercup squash is an excellent alternative to kabocha squash, sharing many of the same qualities. The coloration of their flesh is basically the same, and the buttercup squash is also a dry and sweet variety. Ranunculus japonicas (Japanese Buttercup) Ranunculaceae Perennial herbs (grow for several years from their same root system) found in sunny roadside in mountains. The Japanese name Umano-ashidaka literally meaning footprint of horses, because radical leaves are like footprint of horses, however it actually does not look like it at all.

How to Identify Buttercup and Kabocha

Buttercup squash is a lot like kabocha with a belly button — but generally a little larger, a little moister, and not as nuanced in terms of flavor.

Kabocha is round with no imperfections on button, the area where the turban grows on a Buttercup.

Buttercup shape is different more square.

The kabocha stem shape is different as well, not squishy. It’s more like a tree trunk.

However, the single most important characteristic is that tiny button bottom.. no variation in it.. smooth, non issue.. If it’s bumpy or raised, or two levels, even if it is not a traditional buttercup cap, it still ain’t a kabocha butt.

Taste: The buttercup is wet and kinda goes to goo no matter what you do to it…and didn’t make a good fry. Kabocha tastes more substantial. The texture of kabocha is denser to me and there is just a taste to it that is different. It stays in chunks easier.

It seems that a kabocha/buttercup hybrid is often sold in stores, as the buttercup turban rarely shows and the shape is rounded yet flat.
