Experience the “Raw” Revolution: Japan’s Sweet Potato Reinvented
Prepare for a taste sensation that redefines the humble sweet potato. Snaq.me, a company dedicated to innovative and wholesome snacks, has launched its limited-edition “Nettori Nama-shokkan Jukusei Hoshi Yakiimo” (Sticky Raw-texture Aged Dried Baked Sweet Potato). This unique treat, available from January 25, 2026, on the Snaq.me online store, promises a melt-in-your-mouth experience that goes beyond traditional moistness, delivering a rich, honey-like sweetness without any added sugar.
This isn’t your average Hoshiimo (dried sweet potato). The secret to its astonishingly sticky and smooth texture lies in a meticulous, proprietary process centered on “aging” and “baking.” Locally sourced Japanese sweet potatoes undergo a careful maturation in controlled temperature and humidity environments. This process naturally converts their starches into sugars, concentrating the potato’s inherent sweetness to its peak. Following this, the aged potatoes are first fully baked (Yakiimo style), maximizing their sweetness, before being slowly finished at low temperatures.
This dual-stage method, free from any added sugars or artificial additives, achieves a depth of flavor and a luscious texture that rivals, or even surpasses, a freshly baked sweet potato. Imagine the natural syrup oozing from a perfectly ripe sweet potato – that’s the essence captured in every bite of this unique snack. The dedication to using only sweet potato as an ingredient truly lets the natural sugars shine, creating an authentic and guilt-free indulgence.
Three Ways to Savor the Sweetness
The “Nettori Nama-shokkan Jukusei Hoshi Yakiimo” offers versatile enjoyment, adapting to your mood and craving:
-
Sticky Raw-Texture: Thaw in the refrigerator for approximately three hours. This method allows the natural sweet potato syrup to melt, offering the smoothest, most indulgent texture.
-
Fluffy Baked Potato Feel: Warm it in a microwave or toaster oven. This enhances the aromatic fragrance and intensifies the sweet flavor, reminiscent of a classic warm yakiimo.
-
Baked Sweet Potato Ice Cream Style: Enjoy it semi-frozen. This transforms the treat into a novel, cool, and naturally sweet sherbet-like dessert.
