Yakiimo (Baked sweet potato)

It's getting cooler everyday in Tokyo. Fall is a good season for those who love eating!

Around this time, stores start selling the new crop of sweet potatoes. Three major kinds of sweet potatoes which are good for Yakiimo are BENIAZUMA, NARUTOKINTOKI(or KINTOKI), and BENIOTOME.

Yakiimo is a popular snack for fall and winter. You might find a mini truck that sells this sweet snack. (the average price is 100 yen per 100g.)




Or you can bake your own Yakiimo at home!
It's easy. Just put a sweet potato into oven at 250℃ for 30 minutes.
