Naturally grown sweet potatoes from Akito Watanabe in Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture are now in stock again this year!
Since 2013, they have been harvesting their own seeds and growing sweet potatoes without fertilizer or pesticides.
The land on which the farm will be built was previously cleared mountains where crops were grown without fertilizer or pesticides.
Watanabe-san always treats each and every item with great care, and I feel that this personality is reflected in his produce.

Naturally grown purple sweet potato by Akito Watanabe in Kikuchi, Kumamoto Prefecture
Purple sweet potatoes can be cooked and eaten in the same way as regular sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato has a beautiful purple color, so it is recommended for making sweets such as tarts and Mont Blanc, or kneaded into pancakes and bread.
Purple sweet potatoes contain a lot of anthocyanin, a type of polyphenol famously found in red wine, and are characterized by their fluffy, sticky sweetness.
Naturally grown purple sweet potatoes are extremely rare nationwide, so please give them a try.
