The Story
This traditional kintsuba sweet is crafted from Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes, a regional specialty of Tokushima known for their smooth texture and natural sweetness. The sweet potato paste is simmered with its skin, then coated in a thin flour batter and gently seared on a griddle — a signature method that gives kintsuba its golden, slightly crisp exterior and soft, moist center. Made by Ichioka Seika, a Tokushima-based confectioner dedicated to showcasing local ingredients, this treat highlights Japan’s craftsmanship and seasonal flavors, perfect for enjoying during the holidays.
