What Japanese buyers say

Reviewers call this a nostalgic Hokkaido classic from Toyako: a baked-sweet-potato lookalike made with smooth white bean paste, a thin soy-sauce-glazed skin and kelp strands as the fibers, with no actual potato. Not too sweet, two bites each, and good with tea; a standard local gift.
