Ibaraki Prefecture – Beni Masari (Sweet Potato) 150-200g

These Japanese sweet potatoes are sourced from carefully selected growing regions chosen by WASO’s discerning buyers, ensuring both quality and flavour at their peak. Thanks to WASO’s own direct air transport, they arrive with exceptional freshness, retaining the natural vitality they possess at harvest. Grown slowly in Japan’s fertile soil, the sweet potatoes develop a gentle depth of flavour as they mature, offering a comforting natural sweetness. Their firm texture softens beautifully with heat—whether steamed, roasted or simmered—and each method reveals a different character. Slow roasting brings a moist, tender centre, steaming enhances their mellow sweetness, and simmering allows their richness to blend harmoniously into broths and dishes. Whether added to rice, paired with vegetables or enjoyed simply, they bring a warm, rustic presence that feels essential to the Japanese table.
