About this place
One of the pleasures of KARAIMOYA Juttoku is finding sweet potato varieties that are rarely seen at an everyday grocery shop. Slowly roasted in clay jars, the potatoes include the rare Kimimaroko as well as Silk Sweet, Halloween Sweet, Kuri Kaguya and Hime Ayaka, with a varied selection depending on the day. Some varieties, such as Kimimaroko, have a simple, fluffy texture; others are deeply sweet and soft. Choosing between them is part of the fun.
When several varieties are available, it’s worth picking more than one to compare. If you arrive at the right time, you may find a freshly roasted potato still warm. The portions are generously sized for their reasonable price, too.
In addition to roasted sweet potatoes, the shop sometimes offers its winter-only “delicious oden”, with ingredients thoroughly infused with broth. This is an easy takeaway stop for a warm snack or a simple dish to enjoy later, and a pleasant detour on a walk.
