Naruto-Uzukin

The full potential of Naruto Kintoki's ingredients

“Naruto-Uzukin” made by Kurio Shoten in Tokushima Prefecture is a sweet potato kintsuba made from 100% Naruto Kintoki, the top brand of sweet potato. Naruto Kintoki is grown mostly in the northern part of Tokushima Prefecture, mainly in the sandy area near the Naruto Straits.

The lineup of confections made by Kurio Shoten includes many that make the most of the original flavor of Naruto kintoki. It is a confectionery that could only be made by a confectioner in Tokushima Prefecture.

The sweets are simple, but only possible because of the quality of the ingredients. The whirlpool pattern branding on the surface is inspired by the whirlpools of Naruto, and is a cute design.

It has a beautiful form of a traditional “Kintsuba” that is heavy in the hand.

When cut in half, it is filled with sweet potato paste made from Naruto kintoki.

It has a simple sweetness, but its mochi-mochi texture and elegant sweetness showcase the full potential of the Naruto kintoki ingredient. It is definitely delicious.
