Annou Imo (Annou Sweet Potato)
As it is taken out of the oven, honey-like nectar overflows from the cracked surfaces, and a sweet aroma rises along with the steam. When scooped with a spoon, it is as thick and sticky as cream, surprising you with an intense sweetness that melts in your mouth. Growing in the Annou district of Tanegashima, these sweet potatoes have a sugar content of about 16 degrees even when raw, and the sweetness becomes even more concentrated when roasted. The warm island, which rarely experiences frost, and the mineral-rich soil nurture this honey-like flavor. It is a masterpiece that the island takes pride in, officially registered as a Geographical Indication. When you bite into it as a roasted sweet potato, it is just like a sweet potato dessert. It is a sweetness that makes you crave a warm, fluffy piece during the cold season.
