Unagi-imo Almond Florentine

This is a florentine made with sweet potatoes called 'Unagi-imo' (Eel Potato), which has a somewhat surprising name. It uses a brand of potato unique to Hamamatsu, grown using fertilizer made from eel bones and heads that are normally discarded in Lake Hamana. Sweet potatoes have been cultivated in the Enshu region for hundreds of years. This 'Unagi-imo' connects the blessings of that local land with the eel culture of Lake Hamana. The paste is kneaded into an almond and caramel base to create a crispy florentine. The gentle, sweet aroma of the sweet potato spreads beautifully alongside the fragrant texture of the almonds. It is one of the representative souvenirs of Hamamatsu.
