Kankoro Mochi
When lightly toasted, fragrant steam rises, and the gentle sweetness of the sweet potato spreads from within the chewy, sticky mochi. It is a taste of Goto winter—simple yet addictive. A local confection of the Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture, 'kankoro' refers to thinly sliced sweet potatoes that are boiled and dried in the sun. From October to March, when the north winds blow strongly, kankoro is prepared and kneaded into mochi, serving as a traditional preserved food passed down through households. It is delicious both as is and when toasted, with the sweetness of the potato expanding with every bite. Please try enjoying this warm flavor nurtured by island life, toasted by a stove.
