Potatoes are one of the most common vegetables all over the world. They are cheap, easy to cook and have so many health benefits.
You can bake them, boil them, microwave them… everyone can make something to eat with potatoes.I will start to grow tomatoes
in my farm and now learning watever i can about them, thanks for information. I also found another good site
about potatoes and so many other methods of agriculturing, i recommend you to take a look.

I am a gardener and would like to plant this imo. How is it different from the sweet potato or yam grown in the USA. Do they have the same health benefits?

Hi TK, Yeah, this is definitely worth a try, my fav is still bontan ame though.

Hi Meg, Thanks for checking my blog! I am always glad to hear that the people on the other end enjoy it. Yes, the package is indeed delightful.

Hi Natalie, Wow, so you got some of these candies via pen pals. The wrapping is indeed a novelty.

Thank you so much for posting this!!! When I was a kid my mom had some Japanese pen pals stay the month with us, and I hve never forgotten about these candies. Its been at least 10 years and I still remember the wrapper melting in my mouth.

These look delicious, and the package is adorable. I love satsuma imo! I hadn’t checked your blog in several days, and was excited to see so many posts this morning. Autumn in Kyoto looks like a tasty time of year–as I guess it is in most places. Thanks for the wonderful updates.

Hello TK, I bought it at one of those discount candy and junk food dealers that are found in most shotengai shopping arcades. This one happened to be in the arcade at Demachiyanagi, facing Kawaramachi Street. It is right at the entrance, on the south side.

Hello Michelle, Please see above comment as to where I purchased it. Bontan ame is available in most super markets. Bontan ame is only made from bontan, I think. (Bontan is the citrus fruit.) This link is the company’s website. http://www.seikafoods.jp

I’m not a fan of caramel but I like sweet potato though. This caramel candy looks interesting and is definitely worth a try. I also like the packaging. Where did you get this product and the bontan ame (on your previous post)? For the bontan ame, does the company makes other flavors besides the citrus? I love bontan ame.
