Ajino Kuraya Karaimo Dango
This is a local confectionery from Miyazaki made using 'karaimo,' the Kyushu dialect word for sweet potato. It features 'nerikuri'—a mixture of freshly pounded mochi and steamed sweet potatoes—which has been a beloved flavor of the hometown, particularly in the Miyakonojo region, since the Edo period. Ajino Kuraya's Karaimo Dango consists of this nerikuri wrapped around lightly sweetened chunky red bean paste (tsubu-an) and generously coated in kinako (roasted soybean flour). Because of its high sweet potato content, we take pride in the fact that it does not harden even when chilled, allowing you to enjoy a soft texture at any time. It is a simple, rustic flavor created by the fluffy sweetness of the sweet potato, the chunky red bean paste, and the fragrant kinako. It is a nostalgic taste of Miyazaki that brings a sense of comfort to the heart.

Ajino Kuraya Karaimo Dango
A dish featuring sweet bean paste wrapped in 'Nerikuri,' a traditional local confection passed down since the Edo period, and coated in kinako (roasted soybean flour). Because sweet potato is kneaded into the dough, it does not harden even when refrigerated, and its 3-day shelf life is exceptionally long for a dumpling.
