Satsuma Joukiya Karaimo Ame (Sweet Potato Candy)

'Karaimo' is the Kagoshima dialect word for sweet potato. As the name suggests, it is a traditional candy that brings out the natural sweetness of the sweet potato. It is a simple and heartwarming confection made by Satsuma Joukiya. Karaimo Ame is made by boiling sweet potatoes with malt and kneading them slowly. It is a local Kagoshima candy that has been loved by common people for over 300 years. It features a slightly firm, sticky texture similar to caramel. With every chew, the gentle, natural sweetness of the potato spreads through your mouth. It is a nostalgic flavor that brings a sense of comfort. Since it is wrapped in oblate (edible starch film), you can eat it directly once you peel off the outer wrapper. Please enjoy this traditional taste of Kagoshima.
