Hoshi-imo (Dried Sweet Potato)
When you take a bite, a chewy texture is followed by the gentle spreading of the sweet potato's natural, simple sweetness. Even without any added sugar, this natural sweetness shines through. Hoshi-imo is a nostalgic snack that captures the full essence of the potato's bounty. Approximately 90% of all dried sweet potatoes in Japan are produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. Within the prefecture, Hitachinaka City and Tokai Village are major production areas. The well-drained volcanic ash soil, mineral-rich sea breezes, and long periods of sunny winter weather—the unique climate of this land is perfect for creating sticky, sweet dried sweet potatoes. It is delicious eaten as is, or even lightly toasted on the surface. It is a flavor Ibaraki is proud of, overflowing with sweetness the more you chew.
