The Yaki Imo Man came up my street so I decided to catch him on video and get a yaki imo. It was a wonderful stone roasted sweet potato from the southern most tip of Kyuushuu, Japan, in Satsuma, near Kagoshima where a very big active volcano, Sakurajima, resides.
These things are so soft and buttery, and ... they just melt in your mouth! The outside skin is crispy and delicious. It is just such a wonderful treat to have in the winter when they come around. This is a Japanese tradition.
(Of course I've been suffering from massive carbohydrate overload all evening, and now thanks to that giant carbobeeste I am so starving I could eat a wooly mammoth, hair and all!)
I love you!
(just don't touch my dinner! grrrrrrrr)
