A Cafe Dedicated to the Appeal of Sweet Potatoes
Run by "Imo Kinnosuke," a sweet potato specialty shop in Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, an area known as one of Japan’s leading sweet potato producers, this café centers on the motto, "What goes into the body matters." Sweet potatoes are grown with methods that avoid reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides at the company’s own farms and contracted farms. Without using preservatives or other additives, each sweet potato dessert is prepared by hand with care. Signature items such as "Imo Kenpi" and "Imo Chips" highlight the distinct qualities of varieties, including "Beni Azuma" and "Beni Haruka," while exclusive menu items available only at the café have also gained attention.
Exclusive In-Store Offerings with Wide Variety
The café offers a wide variety of items available only at the physical location, including sweet potato pudding, shakes, and soft-serve ice cream. Among them, the made-to-order "Imobo" stands out, featuring dough blended with sweet potato and filled generously with sweet potato paste, with a crisp exterior and chewy texture inside.
Careful Cultivation Supporting an End-to-End Production Process
Sweet potatoes grown on company-owned and contracted farms in Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, are carefully selected, and every stage from processing to production is completed by hand. Guided by a desire to preserve the natural flavor of the ingredients, no preservatives or other additives are used, supporting a consistent production approach carried through without compromise.
