This natural hoshi imo (dried sweet potato) snack is made only using high-quality sweet potato from Nagano Prefecture. If you love the great taste of sweet potato, or just want a healthy and natural sweet treat from Japan, you can't miss this!
These hoshi imo are made using Beniharuka sweet potatoes, which is the sweetest and tastiest sweet potato variety in Japan. Beniharuka has a smooth and creamy texture that far outshines the typical sweet potatoes you might be used to.
Using only freshly cultivated organic sweet potatoes from Tominaga's farm in Nagano, this product is completely additive-free. The more you indulge in these hoshi imo, the more you'll be able to feel the love and care that went into making them.
While you can eat these straight from the pack, one of the best ways to truly enjoy dried sweet potato is by heating them, this allows the potato to become softer, and for the sweetness to be enhanced.
Transfer a few slices of hoshi imo onto a plate, cover it with a plastic wrap, and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Microwave for an additional 10 seconds if required.
For those who wish to experience a flaky texture, reminiscent of a baked potato, put the hoshi imo in a toaster oven until it turns golden brown.
