3. Gorojima Kintoki Western-Style Imo-Yokan (170 YPY (incl.tax))

Imo-yokan is a common Japanese sweet made by straining boiled sweet potato and adding agar-agar (a gelatin like substance made from seaweed) to make it set. Fresh cream is added to the imo-yokan to make this ‘western-style’ desert. It is made with quality ingredients, particularly Gorojima Kintoki, a sweet potato known for its sweet flavor and soft, fluffy texture, which is traditionally grown in Kanazawa. If you like the Japanese desert 'Sweet potato' or other sweet potato-based confectionery, you should definitely try this.
