This time, I visited the sweet potato specialty store 'Imokawa', located just a 1-minute walk from Satsu no Tsuji Station (bus), where you can enjoy the three textures of sweet potatoes: “sticky,” “moist,” and “fluffy.”

At 'Imokawa', the baked sweet potatoes are made using a state-of-the-art steam convection oven that circulates heated air, managing the temperature and humidity of the sweet potatoes to perfection. They are slowly baked for about one and a half to two hours in the store's workshop.
This ensures that the deliciousness of the ingredients is maximized, resulting in an exquisite flavor and glossy, dense baked sweet potatoes. There are three varieties: “sticky,” “moist,” and “fluffy.”

• The varieties of sweet potatoes vary by season as they select different types throughout the year.

Of course, warm baked sweet potatoes are delightful! They also offer a variety of serving methods, including chilled baked sweet potatoes that have been aged overnight, which are topped with coarse sugar and lightly caramelized after ordering.
At 'Imokawa', you can experience a new realm of “baked sweet potatoes”!

“Beni Azuma”
Popular in the Kanto region, known for its strong sweetness and fluffy texture.

“Beni Haruka”
Soft and creamy with a rich and intense sweetness.

“Beni Masari”
A moist and soft texture like yokan. The sweetness and aroma are enhanced by slow baking.

By turning each type of sweet potato into “baked sweet potatoes,” you can bring out the true deliciousness of the ingredients and perhaps find your favorite variety!

Menu I ordered
"Baked Sweet Potato Brûlée"
They sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the chilled baked sweet potato after ordering and caramelize it. I enjoyed the crunchy texture and aroma while savoring the sticky, soft, and rich sweetness of the sweet potato.

The interior has a very clean atmosphere, emphasizing wooden decor.

Once again, I'm completely full!
Thank you for the meal!
