“Imogen,” a store specializing in “Japanese Candied Sweet Potatoes for Adults
“Imogen” is a brand of Japanese candied sweet potatoes for adults, created by the chef of the sweet potato sweets specialty store “High Quality Sweet Potato Confectionery Shimizu”. The chef, who used to work in the Japanese food industry, has created a new type of sweet potato by approaching it from a “culinary” point of view, rather than from a sweets point of view.
The result is Japanese Candied Sweet Potatoes, which can be enjoyed as both a snack and a pick-me-up, made with sweet potatoes and available in four flavors: Awayuki salted lemon, sweet sugar tower cinnamon, black sesame Kinako (soybean flour), and sweet potato secret classic.
