For example, there’s the famous yaki-imo, the steamed sweet potato. I will never forget the first time I saw it sold from a small van driving slowly in the streets of my neighborhood. They sell it in a paper bag, just like a pastry. You can definitely make yaki-imo at home: just steam a whole sweet potato and enjoy the taste!
And now, after mentioning yaki-imo, it’s time to learn about a delicious local snack, originally from Nagano Prefecture – the oyaki!
The oyaki comes with different fillings and it can be either savory or sweet. The sweet filling will usually be sweet red beans, and there is a variety of savory flavors. It’s definitely something you can play with and add your favorite filling. My favorite is eggplant – so let’s go ahead and learn how to do it!
