Rating 4.4 (29 reviews)[ Taste: 4.8 Value: 4.2 Volume: 4.5 Design: 4.7 Portability: 4.3 Shelf life: 3.9 ]
Reviewers praise the moist beni-imo (purple sweet potato) filling with a natural, not-too-sweet flavor and a buttery tart crust, even for people who dislike sweets. Individually wrapped, generous in size, nice warmed or chilled, and popular as a gift for coworkers and family. A couple note the crust is soft and crumbly.
