Joyo Sweet Potato Sweets

These sweets are made using 'Terada potatoes,' a specialty of Joyo, and have a reputation for being 'tastier than chestnuts.' They offer a comforting flavor packed with the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes. Terada potatoes are large-sized sweet potatoes grown in sandy fields created by the flooding of the Kizugawa River. It is said that during the Horeki era of the Edo period, Shimarihei, a medicine wholesaler in Nagaike, brought cultivation methods from Iki and spread them locally. Eventually, the potatoes grown in the sandy soil of the Terada area became famous for being particularly delicious, leading to them being called 'Terada potatoes.' When made into sweet potato pies or baked goods, the sticky sweetness of the potato becomes even more prominent. Please enjoy the meltingly delicious taste of the potatoes nurtured by the sandy soil of Joyo.
