Kameya Hatsukari-yaki

This is a sweet potato cracker born in the Meiji era, made by sprinkling sesame seeds on thinly sliced sweet potatoes, sandwiching them on an iron plate to grill, and coating them with molasses. This is Kameya's 'Hatsukari-yaki'. Kameya is a long-established shop in Kawagoe, founded in Tenmei 3 (1783). This Hatsukari-yaki gained popularity as a specialty of Kawagoe by thinly slicing and grilling 'Beniaka', a mutant sweet potato that emerged in Meiji 36 (1903). It is a luxurious creation from which only 4 to 5 pieces can be obtained from a single potato, and its name is derived from the nickname of Kawagoe Castle, 'Hatsukari Castle'. With a crispy texture, the gentle sweetness of molasses, and the savory aroma of sesame, it is a flavorful piece packed with the history of Kawagoe, a land famous for its sweet potatoes.
