Otsu's Karaimo (Sweet Potato)
When you split open a moistly roasted sweet potato, a sweet aroma spreads along with the steam. The fluffy interior is as sweet as honey. Otsu Town is a famous producer of 'karaimo' (the local name for sweet potatoes in Kyushu). The volcanic ash soil of Aso and the warm climate nurture sweet and fluffy sweet potatoes. They are so well-loved that they became the town's mascot, 'Karaimo-kun,' and the area bustles with the 'Karaimo Festival' every autumn. Not only are they enjoyed as roasted sweet potatoes, but they also serve as ingredients for sweets and sweet potato shochu, making them a proud flavor of Otsu Town. Otsu's sweet potatoes, wrapped in the abundant sweetness of the earth. Please enjoy a fluffy one from autumn through winter.
