YAKIIMO

You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
The taste you’ve been longing for “Japanese satusmaimo.”

Do you know? Japanese "satsumaimo" sweet potatoes are currently booming. At a glance, they look like yamuimo, but in Japan they're usually thought of as a sweet with a gentle, natural sweetness that will make you happy just like magic.
So, what exactly is the appeal of the Japanese sweet potato, satsumaimo? People who have had satsumaimo are saying "It's like nature's candy" and "It reminds me of vanilla cake."

Even now they’re selling these Japanese sweets across the sea in Canadian supermarkets.

So you think "Oh, I get it" and that's all there is to the sweetness of satsumaimo, right?
But not so fast! That's not all. Recently satsumaimo have begun appearing on store shelves in Canada. But there's not enough to go around. So if you want some, keep checking back! Don't you mistake it for yamuimo!

We recommend eating it as “yakiimo” which is very popular in Japan and much of Asia. Just wrap it in tin foil, bake it in the oven, and it’ll be overflowing with sweetness.

There are a lot of different ways to prepare satsumaimo, but the one that people have always said is the best is "yakiimo." Wrap the satsumaimo in tin foil and bake it in the oven. For example, people in Japan used to cook satsumaimo by putting it into a fire with kindling. Don't you think that's a bit of a simply wild way to cook?
An expertly cooked yakiimo will be fluffy and piping hot! The skin will slide right off and a juicy golden nectar will gently ooze out of the sweet potato. You'll feel like the middle has somehow melted into honey. You might regret never having tried this particular texture and sweetness.
