Imoten (Sweet Potato Tempura)
When you break into one freshly fried, steam rises softly. From within the crispy batter, fluffy, sweet sweet potato peeks out; combined with the slightly sweet coating, it is perfect as both a snack and a light meal. This is Kochi's specialty, 'Imoten'. Unlike regular tempura batter, Kochi's Imoten is characterized by adding sugar and salt to the flour, and it is said that each shop has its own unique recipe. That is why the batter itself possesses a gentle sweetness. People in Kochi have grown and eaten sweet potatoes since the era when rice was precious. It is a beloved Tosa snack found at roadside stations, supermarkets, and notably at the 'Sunday Market,' the famous street market held in the castle town.
