Ran-Ran Potato

Sweet Potatoes born in Tsuchiyu Onsen Town

“Ran-Ran Potato” made by Moriyama Corporation in Fukushima City is a sweet potato made as a souvenir from the hot spring hotels located in Tsuchiyu Onsen spa resort. Tsuchiyu Onsen is famous for its “onsen tamago” (hot spring eggs), and many confections are made using these eggs.

The package says “It’s a sweet potato from an egg shop,” pushing the egginess to the fore, but the sweet potato itself is made with plenty of high-quality Beni Azuma sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato was squeezed out in the form of mini cakes. The mini cakes are made of Beni Azuma paste, and the tops seem to be baked to a golden brown.

The cross section is fluffy, and you can see that the sweet potato paste is carefully kneaded to create it.

The sweet potato is moist and yet delicious, a classic sweet potato delicacy. The spa town is famous for its onsen tamago (hot spring eggs), but the sweet potato is also of a very high quality. We enjoyed them very much.
