Yakiimo; a baked sweet potato with stones.
It's Winter ! We need something to make ourselves warm.
In such a cold season, we can see cars like this at many places.
Do you know what they are doing ? just driving a car ? no, they are selling a thing.
It's Yakiimo ! a typical Japanese hot snack in winter.
What is Yakiimo ? It's sweet potatoes baked in burn stones.
The car has a big oven with stones.
The seller put sweet potatoes in it, and bake.
And they sell the potatoes with shouting " Ishiyakiimo-------" it is sold by 400 to 500 yen.
Freshly baked ones are really delicious !! hot, sweet, melting and creamy !
I especially recommend Annou imo (Annou sweet potato).
This potato has another name; Mitu imo (Syrup potato).
This potato has much more syrup in it than any other kinds.
When we bake it, the syrup comes out from inside.
Its sweetness has been attracting many people especially female.
You can't stop eating once you try it ヾ(≧∇≦)ゞ
Do you want to eat Yakiimo ? OK, let's hang out and find that car ! ﾚ(ﾟ∀ﾟ;)ﾍ=З=З=З
Enjoy your Yakiimo !
