Ama Diver's Shop - Kinko Imo
A simple and warm dried sweet potato confection that used to be a snack for Ama (female divers). This is 'Kinko,' made from Hayato potatoes and sold along the approach to the Owase shrine in Toba City. Owase is known as a town of Ama divers and fishermen. Kinko is a local food that these divers have made and eaten during breaks in their fishing. Made by sun-drying Hayato potatoes slowly, it features a chewy texture and a concentrated, gentle sweetness. It is said that the name 'Kinioko' comes from its resemblance to dried sea cucumbers (konowata). In keeping with tradition, it is made using only the natural sweetness of the potato without relying on additives. The simple, handmade flavor evokes the peaceful seaside life of Owase and the hardworking spirit of the Ama divers.
