“Ishiyāki-imo” made by Ikufuku who locates in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture, is a manju, sweet bun featuring of a stone baked sweet potato.

We can clearly see cut stone baked sweet potato in half through the package.

It is baked in golden brown and looks like real baked potato.

Mixed pasted white bean jam and sweet potato is filled.  “Satomusume”, meaning country girl, which is one of races among Naruto-kintoki sweet potatoes is used for this confection, harvested in local. The race is one of the most popular sweet potatoes and it has character of strong sweetness and fine texture.

The paste contains roughly roasted sweet potato seeds, which gives the natural sweetness. It looks like a sweet potato as it is, and it is a refined Japanese sweet bun.  We can fully enjoy the natural sweet potato itsefl.
