Yokan, a firm jelly dessert, is a popular type of wagashi (Japanese sweets) typically made from adzuki (red bean) paste, agar, and sugar. This unique yokan is instead made from imo (sweet potatoes), a specialty of Kawagoe City in Saitama. The sweet pototes are naturally-cultivated using a traditional fallen-leaf composting method, which has been around for over 300 years. The resulting sweet potatoes are plump with a noticeable natural sweetness.

Very unique jelly

I wasn't sure what to expect and I'm not a fan typically of things sweet potato but I really enjoyed this. It wasn't extra sweet at all and had an interesting mouthfeel to it. Definitely try this!
