Sweet potato that is incredibly smooth and has a gentle sweetness of the potato that you can't stop eating once you start! It is sold by weight, with a minimum purchase of one piece. The large ones cost around 1,200 to 1,500 yen each. This time, I was on a trip from Asahikawa to Obihiro. I actually found a delicious-looking sweet potato in Asahikawa that I wanted to buy, but unfortunately it was sold out. So, even when I arrived in Obihiro, my obsession with sweet potatoes did not fade. Amidst this, I got information that there are delicious sweet potatoes in Obihiro as well, so I immediately went to the shop to check it out. In the showcase, there were huge sweet potatoes sitting there. They were really big. It would take the whole family to finish just one. I asked the staff if they sold them in smaller portions, but they said they didn't. So, I had no choice but to buy one if I had come this far!! Therefore, I purchased a relatively smaller (still huge) one. When we returned to the hotel and tried it, the gentle and simple sweetness of the sweet potato was evident, but what stood out was the incredibly smooth texture, sweet vanilla-like aroma, and rich creaminess. Delicious!!! Even though the ingredients list didn't mention vanilla or cream (it said flavoring, maybe it's vanilla), it definitely felt that way. And since they use the sweet potato skin as a container, occasionally eating it together with the skin provides a change in texture and a fragrant aroma. Oh man, this sweet potato, once you start eating it, you can't stop. It's addictive. It's irresistible. I honestly think it has addictive properties. It's that delicious. When you come to Obihiro, it's pork bowl and sweet potato. The new standard.
