Sweet potatoes aren’t just a snack for winter. At Imo Pippi, you can enjoy a warm baked sweet potato topped with vanilla ice cream, luscious honey butter or creme brulee custard cream (¥750) all year round. The shop’s sweet potatoes are aged for three months and then slow cooked for a few hours to give them a much sweeter taste than your average baked potato.
For something unique, we recommend the sweet potato ice cream (¥1,400). It has a layer of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, topped with thin, purple thread-like sweet potato paste that’s similar to Mont Blanc (the dessert).
