Mitoya Honten Chichibu Sweet Potato

A luxurious sweet potato treat using the 'phantom potato' of Chichibu, known for its sticky sweetness. This sweet potato is made using Taihaku-imo, a traditional variety cultivated in Chichibu since before the war. It is produced by Mitoya Honten, founded in Meiji 8 (1875). Taihaku-imo is a variety that once almost ceased cultivation and was even called the 'phantom potato.' In recent years, it has regained attention as a specialty of Chichibu. The fifth-generation owner of Mitoya Honten, famous for the signature 'Chichibu Mochi,' carefully prepared this by fusing Japanese and Western confectionery techniques. The naturally intense sweetness of the potato lives on in the moist cake. This is a limited edition product available near Chichibu Station. Please take the taste of this rare potato as a souvenir. It is a masterpiece that captures the blessings of the mountains of Chichuli.
