Wakasaimo

A signature confection produced since the early Showa era by Wakasaimo Honpo of Toyako Onsen. While it looks exactly like a roasted sweet potato, it is actually a mysterious sweet that uses no actual potatoes at all. It was born from the founder's desire to create roasted sweet potatoes in Hokkaido, where sweet potatoes are difficult to grow. High-quality daifuku beans are used for the white bean paste, and the fibrous texture visible when split in two is actually created using chopped kelp from Hokkaido. The outer skin is brushed with egg soy sauce and baked to a fragrant finish. It is a fun and profound item that mimics both the appearance and taste of a roasted sweet potato. Please verify this representative long-selling confection of Hokkaido with your own eyes and palate.
