YAKIIMO BIYORI

Hidden behind the residential area near Ooiso beach, is a baked potato specialty store which is only open twice a week during the winter season.

At Yakiimo Biyori, the sweet potatoes aren’t baked the common way – with hot stones.

They’re baked using a method called “tsubo-yaki,” or in a pot.

The sweet potatoes which have been aged for a month to increase their sweetness, come out sweet and juicy under the infrared heat.

And because they’re not stone cooked, you can eat the entire skin as well!

This is a must-eat winter treat, even for those on a diet. Yakiimo Biyori is open from Nov. 21 this year.
