Dried sweet potato with the texture of yokan jelly.

1) Sweet potatoes are selected carefully because of the choice of soil

The taste of sweet potatoes is greatly affected by the natural power of the soil. We carefully select and cultivate sweet potatoes based on our own records of soil surveys, elevation, soil type, and other factors.

(2) Ripening for about 2 months after harvesting

Freshly dug sweet potatoes have a high water content and are not very sweet. After harvesting, the sweet potatoes are slowly ripened in the cold just before the snow falls, and only those that have reached a sugar content of 16 degrees or higher are processed.

(3) Cultivated without using pesticides while adding plenty of organic matter

We place importance on nurturing the soil, drawing out the power of the soil itself, and coexisting in harmony with nature.
