About Hoshiimo (Dried Sweet Potatoes)
Did you know that Ibaraki Prefecture produces the most dried sweet potatoes in Japan? In fact, about 90% of the nation’s production comes from Ibaraki.
Hoshiimo (干し芋, dried sweet potatoes) isn’t just delicious – it’s also packed with nutrition. It’s rich in dietary fiber, low in cholesterol, high in vitamins, and is considered an alkaline food. Truly, it’s hard to find a downside!
Many of us have fond memories of childhood winters, placing hoshiimo wrapped in aluminum foil on a stove to roast. The sweet aroma and golden, caramelized edges made for a perfect treat.
